The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
Answer:
- Length = 43 inches
- Width = 12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 * ( L + W)
The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than 4 times the width.
Assume the width is x. Length is:
4x - 5
Equation is therefore:
2 * (4x - 5 + x) = 110
4x - 5 + x = 110/2
5x - 5 = 55
5x = 55 + 5
x = 60/5
x = 12 inches
If width is 12 inches, then length is:
= 4x - 5
= 4 * 12 -5
= 43 inches
Answer:
3. 9n + 6 = 78
5. see below
Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adults be n. Each adult ticket costs $9, so the cost of n adult tickets is 9n. There is only one child, and a child's ticket is $6, so the cost of the child's ticket is 6. Adding the costs, you get 9n + 6. The total cost is $78, but the expression representing the total cost is 9n + 6, so 9n + 6 must equal 78. That is the equation.
9n + 6 = 78

Sam bought equal gifts for his two children. The two gifts had the same price, x. He received a discount of $125. How much did each of the two gifts cost before the discount?
Answer:
Ok to make this easier for us we should switch these equations into y=mx+b so that it's easier for us to identify the slope and y-intercept:
to switch into y=mx+b form do this:
3x-y=5
-y=5-3x
y=-5+3x
y=3x+(-5)
2y-15x=8
2y=8+15x
y=4+7 1/2x
y=7 1/2x+4
THe slope of any line in y=mx+b form is m. Therefore in this equation:
y=3x+(-5) 3 is the slope
The y intercept of any line is the +b:
y=7 1/2x+4 -therefore 4 in this equation is our y intercept.
Now we can construct our equation in y=mx+b then into standard form (Ax+By=C)
since 3 is our slope and 4 is our y intercept the equatuon is :
y=3x+4
NOw all we need to do is move this into standard form:
y=3x+4
-3x+y=4
-3x+y=4 is your final answer
