Answer:

B. x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(2x + 3) = 2x + 6 - (8x + 2)

-8x -12 = 2x + 6 - 8x -2

(now, "-8" in both terms is cancelled):

-12 = 2x + 6 - 2

(leave 2x alone in second term):

-12 -6 +2 = 2x

-16 = 2x

-16/2 = x

-8 = x

When a baby panda is born, it is 6cm in length. Every week after this, its size increases by 5 cm. Write an equation in slope in

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

56cm, y=5x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

The baby panda's initial or starting length is 5cm. This is the y-intercept or b value. We also know that the panda increases every week by 5 cm. This is the rate of change or slope. This is m. We can write in slope-intercept form y=mx+b.

y=5x+6

We substitute x=10. y=5(10)+6=56cm
