Answer:
1. y=3x-2 -> x= (y+2)/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You simply sub-in the m and b, then "reverse" the problem by doing the steps to get from the 2nd, to the first.
12. Make equation and plug in
13. Proportion
14. Finding a constant rate, and then manipulate
12. Where x is miles driven, and y is answer, and z is days
19.95z+0.15x=y
Plug in two values
19.95 x 2 + 0.15 x 250 = y
39.93+37.5 = y
y=77.43
13. 5:2 as 175:x
5/2 = 175/x
x = 70
70+175=245
14. 260:5 = x:1
260/5=x/1
x = 52
52:1 = y:9
52/1 = y/9
y = 468
I hope you understand the process.
5/8 * 300 = 1500/8 = 187.5 people

Multiply, then you get 2a - 10 = -2. Then isolate the variable by adding 10 on both sides. you get 2a = 8. divide both by 2 and you get a = 4
