Start by writing what is said:
2x + 4 = -6
From there just solve for x:
Subtract 4 from both sides
2x + 4 - 4 = -6 - 4
2x = -10
Divide by 2 to get x by itself
2x/2 = -10/2
x = -5
This is how I would solve it, I would act as if there were 36 people in the class.
36÷6=6×5=30
30÷3=10×2=20
20/36=10/18=5/9
You could also try another number such as 24;
24×(5÷6)=20
20×(2/3)=13.3(3 repeating)
13.333/24=5/9
5/9 people have dogs.

Answer:
y= -2x +2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Slope-intercept form:</u>
y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
Given that the slope is -2, m= -2.
Substitute m= -2 into the equation:
y= -2x +c
Given that the y-intercept is 2, c= 2.
Substitute c=2 into the equation:
y= -2x +2

Answer:
x+2y-7
Step-by-step explanation:
slope (m)=y2-y1/x2-x1
=4-5/-1+3
=-1/2
we have, point slope form of an eqn is
y-y1=m (x-x1)
or, y-5=-1/2 (x+3)
or, 2y-10=-x-3
or, x+2y-7=0 is the required eqn
