Answer:
(- 5, 1 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the translation rule
(x, y ) → (x - 2, y - 6 )
This means subtract 2 from the original x- coordinate and subtract 6 from the original y- coordinate, that is
(- 3, 7 ) → (- 3 - 2, 7 - 6 ) → (- 5, 1 )
well, we're assuming all along that Merina owes Bradford $2000, because in the 1st scenario, she was going to pay twice $1000.
on the 2nd scenario, she'll be paying the same $2000 but split 7 months from now and then 7 months later, same 2000 bucks, at which point Bradford applied 8.5% interest.
using those assumptions, since the wording is not quite clear, we can say that Merina is simply paying 2000 bucks plus the 8.5%

Let x = number of miles, cost per mile = 93 cents = $0.93
Cost = 20.95 + 0.93*x
200.44 = 20.95 + 0.93x
0.93x + 20.95 = 200.44
0.93x = 200.44 - 20.95
0.93x = 179.49
x = 179.49/0.93
x = 193
He drove 193 miles.
Alright,
(a) 2x+4(x-1)=2
2x+4x-4=2---- Distrubution of 4(x-1)
6x-4=2---- Combining like terms
6x=6---- Making -4 equal 0 by adding +4 to both sides
x=1---- Divide the coefficiant (6)
(b) 25-x=15-(3x+10)
25-x=15-3x-10----Distribute the -1
25-x=5-3x---- Combine like terms
25=5-2x---- Make -x equal 0 by adding +x to both sides
20=-2x---- Make 5 equal zero by subtracting 5 (or adding -5) to both sides
-10=x---- Divide by the coefficiant (-2)
(c) 4x= 2x+2x+5(x-x)
4x=2x+2x+5(0)---- Distribute. Alright this might look hard but realy it is 1x-1x so the answer is 0
4x=2x+2x---- 5 times 0 is 0
4x=4x---- Combine like terms
x=x ---- divide by the coefficiant
Alright! Hope this helps! ;)
