Mr. Pham wrote the equation below on the board.

Margaret [11]

Answer:

x=5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this equation by using the various properties and PEMDAS.

First, we would want to subtract 18 on both sides, to even out the equation.

The result is -7x=-38.5

Now we can isolate the x by dividing both sides by -7.

-38/-7=5.5

Thus, x=5.5

Hope this helps!

A line passes through the point (8,9) and has a slope of 3/4

stepan [7]

Answer: $y=\frac{3}{4}x+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Since we are given slope, we can plug that into m, and use the given point to find the y-intercept.

$y=\frac{3}{4}x+b$ [plug in (8,9)]

$9=\frac{3}{4}(8)+b$ [multiply]

$9=6+b$ [subtract both sides by 6]

$b=3$

Now that we have b, we can complete the equation to $y=\frac{3}{4}x+3$ .
