Hey there!
-11b + 7 = 40
- SUBTRACT by 7 on each of your sides.
-11b + 7 - 7 = 40 - 7
Cancel out: 7 - 7 because that gives you 0
Keep: 40 - 7 because it helps us solve for our answer
40 - 7 = 33
11b/-11 = 33/-11
Cancel out: -11b/-11 because it equals 1
Keep: 33/-11 because it gives you -3
33/-11 = 33 ÷ -11 = 3
<h3>
<u>b</u><u> = -3 </u></h3>
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Answer:
x = -8, x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved using Factorization method:

So first, plot your point at (0,0) then use rise over run. From (0,0) go up 3 units then right 4 units, and keep going. Then when you go down go -3 units and left 4
<u>Answer-</u>
2, 4, and 8 people will need 1, 2, 4 pounds of turkey respectively.
<u>Solution-</u>
Given in the question, number of pounds of turkey varies directly with the number of people, i.e as the number of people increases or decreases, the pound of turkey also increases or decreases.
Taking,
x = number of people,
y = pounds of turkey.
This condition can be represented as,

As given in the question, when x = 6 y = 3


Now, putting the values of k in the equation, the equation becomes

Now, we can get the values of y or number of pounds of turkey needed by putting the given x or number of people.
All the calculations are shown in the attached table.
