Answer:
(B) A location
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have a point on a graph or number line, it always represents a certain location on the graph.
For instance, if we have a point on the x=3 line and the y=4 line, the point would represent the location (3,4).
Hope this helped!
Answer:
x = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with - 9 + x = 17, or -9 + x = 17
Solve for x by isolating x on the left side. To do this, add 9 to both sides, obtaining x = 26

Answer: D) One solution</h3>
==========================================
Work Shown:
2(b+3)-17 = 3b-7+b
2b+6-17 = 4b-7
2b-11 = 4b-7
-11+7 = 4b-2b
-4 = 2b
2b = -4
b = -4/2
b = -2
There is one solution and it is b = -2
A quick way to tell we have one solution is to note that both sides are a linear expression, and that the slopes of each linear expression are different values. If you had two lines with the same slope, then you'd have either parallel lines or coinciding lines (leading to no solutions and infinitely many solutions respectively). When you have two lines with two different slopes, then they are guaranteed to intersect only once. That intersection point is the solution.
