Answer:

Albert needs 32 cars to wash to reach his goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of a linear function is

y = mx+b

where m is the slope or rate of change and b is the y-intercept

It is stated that Albert needs $133 to buy a new hard drive.

  • Let 'y' be the amount Albert needs.

As earns $4.75 for each car he washes. Thus, $4.75 the rate of change or slope will be.

As he spends $19 on supplies. Since it is an expense, so -19 is basically the y-intercept 'b'.

Let 'x' be the number of cars he needs to wash to reach his goal.

Thus, substituting the value m = 4.75, y = 133, and b=-19 in the slope-intercept form of a linear function

y = mx+b

133 = 4.75x - 19

133+19 = 4.75x

152 = 4.75x

x = 152 / 4.75

x = 32

Therefore, Albert needs 32 cars to wash to reach his goal.

If -3(x + 6) = x - 2, then x = -4.
Anon25 [30]

3(x + 6) = x - 2

3(-4+6)= -4-2

mutiply the bracket by 3

(3)(-4)= -12

(3)(6)= 18

-12+18= -4-2

6= -4-2

6= -6

So what we know from that is that angle is 30 degrees south of west. so you go 30 degrees down from west. How can we do this? well <span>basically what you have to do is to break down the force into x and y component. The y component of large force and the y component of small force should cancel so that the boat doesn't go north and south and the x components of both the forces should add up so that it goes west only.</span>
