So use distributive property
which is
a(b+c)=ab+ac so
1/2(x+20)=1/2x+10

and the other
4(6-x)=24-4x

so now we have
1/2x+10=17/4x+24-4x
convert -4x to -16/4x and add to the 17/4x
1/2x+10=1/4x+24
subtract 24 from boths ides
1/2x-14=1/4x
multily both sides by 4
2x-56=x
subtract x from both sides
x-56=0
add 56 to both sides
x=56

Jeremy claims that if a linear function has a slope of the same steepness and the same y-intercept as the linear function in the

andre [41]

Here, we have to examine the equation of the straight line which is denoted by: y = m x +c where "m" is the slope which represents the steepness and c is the y-intercept

Here, the two linear functions have the same slope "m" and the same y-intercept "c". When both these are the same, the two linear functions are representing the same straight line.

Therefore, Jeremy is correct in his argument.
