The answer is <em>x = 3</em>, because x = 3 has an undefined slope (m = 0 or is imaginary), and it contains 3, 0 which makes 3, 0 a solution.
5p = 80b
3(5p) = (80b)3
15p = 240b
Lan need 240g of butter to make fish pie for 15 people.
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
2x/3 + 1 = 7x/15 + 3
<em><u>(times everything in the equation by 3 to get rid of the first fraction)</u></em>
2x + 3 = 21x/15 + 9
<em><u>(times everything in the equation by 15 to get rid of the second fraction)</u></em>
30x+ 45 = 21x + 135
<em><u>(subtract 21x from 30x; subtract 45 from 135)</u></em>
9x = 90
<em><u>(divide 90 by 9)</u></em>
x = 10
<h2>
Another solution:</h2>
2x/3 + 1 = 7x/15 + 3
<u><em>(find the LCM of 3 and 15 = 15)</em></u>
<u><em>(multiply everything in the equation by 15, then simplify)</em></u>
10x + 15 = 7x + 45
<u><em>(subtract 7x from 10x; subtract 15 from 45)</em></u>
3x = 30
<em><u>(divide 30 by 3)</u></em>
x = 10
The phrase would be: "z divided by the difference of 8 and 9"
