Answer:

x = -1.5

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Alg</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

0.2x + 1 = 1.6x + 3.1

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Subtract 0.2x on both sides:          1 = 1.4x + 3.1
  2. Subtract 3.1 on both sides:             -2.1 = 1.4x
  3. Divide both sides by 1.4:                 -1.5 = x
  4. Rewrite:                                            x = -1.5

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitution:                    0.2(-1.5) + 1 = 1.6(-1.5) + 3.1
  2. Multiply:                           -0.3 + 1 = -2.4 + 3.1
  3. Add:                                 0.7 = 0.7

Help me with this problem!

Answer:

y = -(2/3)x + 3  

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the equation that was given is - 2/3

The slope in a slope intercept equation is the number in front of the x when the value of the number in front of the y = 1 and x and y are on opposite sides of the equal sign. Let's translate that.

The original equation is y = -(2/3)x + 5/3

  • y and x have to be on opposite sides of the equal sign [They are]
  • The slope is the number in front of the x. That's (-2/3).  That makes A incorrect.

Now you need to use the given point

The point is (-3 , 5) Put this into the equation that you have so far

y = (-2/3)x + b

y = 5

x = -3

5 = (-2/3)(-3/1) + b Substitute in the givens

5 = (-2 * -3)/3 + b Multiply -2 * - 3 = 6

5 = 6/3  + b          Divide the 6 by 3

5 = 2 + b               Divide

5 - 2 = b                Subtract 2 from both sides

3 = b                      Switch sides

b = 3

Answer y = (-2/3)x + 3 or C

Enter an equation of the form y= mx for the line that passes through the
hammer [34]

Answer:

y = 13x

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient = 13

x = 0

y = 0

\frac{Δy}{Δx}

so  \frac{y - 0}{x - 0} = 13

cross multiply and you get

y = 13x
