Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = -2x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x + 7
(4, 1)
1 = -2 ( 4 ) + b
1 = -8 + b
b = 9
y = -2x + 9
Answer:
She uses 243 beads for the 5th string.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we can see a pattern. If she triples the number of beads in each of the next strings, that means that we just take the last number and multiply by 3. If the first string uses 3, then:
The second uses 9, 3 * 3 = 9
The third uses 27, 9 * 3 = 27
The fourth uses 81, 27 * 3 = 81
And the 5th uses 243, 81 * 3 = 243.
The solution is at what point the two lines intersect.
Plug y into the other equation to get: 5x-4(5-3x)=-3
Multiply it out: 5x+12x-20=-3
Combine like terms and add 20 to both sides: 17x=17
Divide both sides by 17: x=1
Now plug the x value back into any equation to get the y value.
So you get y=5-3(1) --> y=2
The solution is (1, 2)
