Answer: x-2y = -8</h3>
===========================================
Explanation:
Multiply both sides by 2 to clear out the fraction
y = (1/2)x+4
2y = 2[ (1/2)x + 4 ]
2y = 2*(1/2)x + 2*4
2y = x + 8
Then move the x term over to the left side
2y = x+8
2y-x = 8
-x+2y = 8
Optionally we can multiply both sides by -1
-x+2y = 8
-1*(-x+2y) = -1*8
x-2y = -8
This is in standard form Ax+By = C with A = 1, B = -2, C = -8
The reason why I multiplied both sides by -1 was to make A > 0 which is what some textbooks use as convention. Of course -x+2y = 8 is equally valid too.
A straight line (180o) is still an angle. Would you be wondering if the question said "Can 179o be a real angle?" No you would simply draw it. 1 degree more and you have 180o and it is an angle as well.
So you have a line that is both a line and an angle with A in the middle.
Kate's situation is correct because she put 2 muffins each in 7 boxes, which is saying 7 x 2. If you multiply these factors together, you will get 14 muffins; which is the amount that Kate started with.
To find the length of the sides, we use the Pythagorean Theorem. First, let's look at the side RS. R is at (1,3), and S is at (3,1). Therefore, to find RS, we use the difference in height and length:

The length of side RS is square root 8.
Side ST is made from point S (3,1) and point T (5,2).

The length of side ST is root 5.
Side RT is between R (1,3) and T (5,2).

The side RT is root 17. The triangle is scalene, meaning it has three sides of different lengths.
The answer is 8,000+100+20+8
