The answer is 10.73 btw hope this helps
X = the number of months the tire was used
y = the thickness of the tire tread
y = -(3/7)x + 20
Substitute x for 20 (the number of months the tire was used) and solve for y.
The next question: Substitute x for 49 (the number of months the tire was used) and solve for y.
Sum means addition so the equation is x+5=14
To get the answer, just do 14-5 and the answer is 9
1. Add 4x back into -2, you now have -4y=-4x-2. Add +4 from y and now you are at y=-4x+2 and this is the answer!
2. Add -9x back into -3, you now have -4y=9x-3. Add +4 from y and now you are at y=9x-7 and this is your answer!!
I hope this helped! Brainliest? :) -Raven❤️
4x - 3 = 9
4x = 9 + 3
4x = 12
x = 3
hope that helps, God bless!
