Answer:
<em><u>In analytic geometry, using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable x and the vertical axis represents a variable y, a y-intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects the y-axis of the coordinate system.[1] As such, these points satisfy x = 0.</u></em>
Anna could have bought 3 boxes, which would serve 2 cupcakes to each child.
Answer: True, False, False, False, False
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
a) 5x - 7(x - 1)
5x - 7x + 7
-2x + 7 ⇒ a = -2, b = 7 <em>One Solution</em>
b) 3(x - 5) - 7
3x - 15 - 7
3x - 22 ⇒ a = 3, b = -22 <em>One Solution</em>
c) 2 - 7x + 3 + 4x
4x - 7x + 3 + 2
-3x + 5 ⇒ a = -3, b = 5 <em>One Solution</em>
d) -3(x - 3) - 1
-3x + 9 - 1
-3x + 8 ⇒ a = -3, b = 8 <em>One Solution</em>
e) -5x + 2 + 2x + 4
-5x + 2x + 2 + 4
-3x + 6 ⇒ a = -3, b = 6 <em>One Solution</em>
First write what are given from the question
We write "<span>Craig scored 12 points in a game" as
</span>⇒ c = 12 <em>(first equation)</em>
We write "<span>Marla scored twice as many points as Craig but 5 fewer than Nelson scored" as
</span>⇒ m = 2c <em>(second equation)</em>
⇒ m = n - 5 <em>(third equation)</em>
<span>
Second, find the expression for n based on what we write above
</span>From the second and third equation
⇒ m = m
⇒ n - 5 = 2c
Subtitute from the first equation
⇒ n - 5 = 2c
⇒ n - 5 = 2(12)
⇒ n - 5 = 24
This is the expression to find how many nelson scored
n - 5 = 24
