Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x+4x−68=34−8x

5x+4x+ −68=34+ −8x

(5x+4x)+(−68)=−8x+34(Combine like terms)

9x+−68=−8x+34

9x−68=−8x+34

Step 2: Add 8x to both sides.

9x −68+ 8x= −8x +34 +8x

17x −68 =34

Step 3: Add 68 to both sides.

17x −68 +68= 34 +68

17x=102

Step 4: Divide both sides by 17.

17x /17=  102/17

                                X=6   > final answer hope i could help :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's step through this line by line, looking for a spot where the friend could have made a mistake.

5x+4x-68=34-8x\\5x+4x=102-8x\\5x+4x+8x=102\\17x=102\\x=6

So, where could the friend have made their mistake? The key here is the transition from step 1 to step 2. What if we had subtracted 68 instead of adding it?

5x+4x-68=34-8x\\5x+4x=-34-8x\\5x+4x+8x=-34\\17x=-34\\x=-2

There it is. The friend's problem was that they had accidentally <em>subtracted</em> 68 to both sides when they should have <em>added</em> it.

Answer:

The graph shows the proportional relationship between total spent and number of months

A proportional relationship has the following characteristics

In a proportional relationship, the ratio of the 'x' and 'y' values is constant for all data pairs

The rate of change between the two quantities in a proportional relationship is constant

The graph of a directly proportional relationship passes through the origin

Therefore, the significance of the given points are;

1. The point (1, 5) is the first point that indicates the proportional relationship between the 'x' and 'y' values and from which the the constant of proportionality, k = y/x can be found as follows;

When x = 1 month, and y = $ 5, for the proportional relationship, we have;

k = y/x = $ 5/(1 month) = 5 $/month

2. The point (0, 0) is the starting point of the relationship and indicates that the graph of the 'x', and 'y', values passes through the origin and the relationship between the ;x;, and ;y;, values is a directly proportional relationship

3. The point (4, 20) which is the limiting point or the point with the highest 'y' value gives;

1) The total payment after 5 months

2) it can be used to draw the graph of the straight line relationship

3) Provides verification of the constant of proportionality
