If we are supposed to give you like a life situation that matches the equation then I have one:
You have 42 watermelons and you need to divide them into equal groups. Let n equal the number of watermelons in each group. There are 6 groups in total. How many watermelons are in each group? (solve for n).
If this is not what you were looking for then my apologies.
m - 9 = 42
42 is our final answer so that should be by itself.
If something is being decreased by 9, that means that we are taking away 9 from something so it should be m - 9.
Answer:
y = 12x - 37
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
here m = 12, thus
y = 12x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (3, - 1) into the partial equation
- 1 = 36 + c ⇒ c = - 1 - 36 = - 37
y = 12x - 37 ← is the equation of the line
