The answer to the question is to combine like terms first:

-8x - 5 = 4x + 2

Isolate the variable x:

-5 = 12x + 2

12x = -7

x = -7/12

An office supply company sells two types of fax
Phantasy [73]

14 of the machine that cost $150 was sold and 8 of the machine that cost $225 was sold.

To solve this problem, we would write a system of linear equations.

  • Let x represent the machine that cost $150
  • Let y represent the machine that cost $225

We can proceed to write our equations now.

x + y = 22...equation(i)\\150x + 225y = 3900...equation(ii)

From equation 1

x+ y = 22\\x = 22 - y...equation (iii)

<h3>The Value of Y</h3>

put equation (iii) into (ii)

150x + 225y =3900\\x = 22-y\\150(22-y)+225y=3900\\3300-150y+225y=3900\\3300+75y=3900\\75y=3900-3300\\75y=600\\75y/75=600/75\\y=8

<h3>The Value of X</h3>

Since we know the number of y, we can simply substitute it into equation (i) and solve.

x + y = 22\\x + 8 = 22\\x = 22-8\\x = 14

From the calculations above, 14 of the machine that cost $150 was sold and 8 of the machine that cost $255 was sold.

Y−3=5(x−2) FIND THE SLOPE PF THE LINE ASAP PLS
adelina 88 [10]

Slope is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: The equation of the line is y - 3 = 5(x - 2). Find the slope.

y - 3 = 5x - 10

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope.

y = 5x - 10 + 3

 y = 5x - 7

m = 5
