2y = -6x + 42.....in y = mx + b form, the m stands for the slope
y = -6/2x + 42/2....reduce
y = -3x + 21.....so the slope is -3
Answer:
$106
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula given for Monthly payment of a loan =
P × [ r (1 + r)/(1 + r)^n - 1
Where
r = interest rate
n = number of monthly payments
P = Present value of the loan
From the question,
r = interest rate, we were told to ignore hence, r = 0
P = $3,175
n = 30
Hence,
Amount to be paid monthly = P/n
= $3175/30
= $105.83
Approximately to the nearest dollars
= $106
Let us try to formulate the expressions one by one.
let the number be x.
Step 1:
six time the number is 6*x = 6x
Step 2:
product of the number and -3 is -3x
Step 3:
now let us make equation for it:

adding 3x on the left side,


dividing right side by 9
x=45/9 = 5
So the number is x=5
