Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 3 = 15
2x = 15 + 3
2x = 18 (divide both sides by 2 to get x)
2x/2 = 18/2
x = 9
<u>ANSWER</u>

<u>QUESTION 1</u>
The first sentence is
.
Recall that;

We simplify the left hand side by applying this property to get;
.
.
We now rewrite the right hand side too in an index form to obtain;

We now equate the exponents to get;
.

.
<u>QUESTION 2</u>
The second sentence is 
We simplify the left hand side first to get;


We now rewrite the left hand side too in index form to obtain;

We equate the exponents to get;

This implies that;

or

slope =(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-1-5)/(1--1)
m=-6/2
m=-3
y-y1=m(x-x1) point slope form
y-5 = -3 (x--1)
y-5 = -3 (x+1)
distribute
y-5 = -3x -3
add 5 to each side
y = -3x+2
Choice D
7&8 if u draw it out first it'll help by tons
a. (2175 mi)/(18 mi/day) = 120.83... day ≈ 121 days
b. 120.83.../4 = 30.2083...
Joelle will hike 30 full days and one partial day.
