<u>Answer:</u> The minuend is 20000
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
To calculate the minuend, we use the equation:

We are given:
Difference between the two numbers = 7194
Subtraend = 12806
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the minuend is 20000
So you swap sides and you have 3x=93 and then you divide 3 by 93 and you get x=31
Y = -1/2x + 6.....the slope is -1/2 and the y int = 6 or (0,6)
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -1/2
(0,6)....x1 = 0 and y1 = 6
now we sub
y - 6 = -1/2(x - 0) <==
** You basically just label ur variables and sub them into the point slope form
