I’m not sure if this is correct but this is the way i would solve it.

first, make an equation with the given information

2x-3=30

Then, add three to both sides

2x=33

Finally, divide both sides by 2

x= 16.5


x represents the age of maggie so all you have to do is plug the solution into the equation to check your answer.

2(16.5)-3= 30

How do you graph this equation -2/3y= -6
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

First, you want to get y by itself, so you will multiply by the reciprocal

( 3 /−2 )-2/-3 : (3/-2)-6

y=9 should be your answer. since there is no x value or "slope" your line will be straight.

Step-by-step explanation:

I have attached what your graph would look like. I hope this helps!!
