Answer:
x = -59/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3 x+ 2 = -x-57
Add x to each side
3 x+x+ 2 = -x+x-57
4x+2 = -57
Subtract 2 from each side
4x +2-2 = -57-2
4x = -59
Divide each side by 4
4x/4 = -59/4
x = -59/4
Move everybody to one side
minus 5x+2 both sides
x^2-5x-2=0
use quadratic formula where
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=

1x^2-5x-2=0
a=1
b=-5
c=-2
x=

x=5.372281323 or -0.3722813233
The y-intercept is the value of y when x is equal to zero. From the equation,
y = 500 + 50x
the y-intercept is calculated by:
y = 500 + 50(0) = 500
Therefore, the correct answer is option B. The y-intercept is 500; it represents the one-time campaign fee.
3/4 divided by 1/5 = 3 3/4
Hope that helps :)
1/2 + 3/18 = 9/18 + 3/18 = 12/18 = 2/3
3/45 + 6/50 = 1/15 + 3/25 = 5/75 + 9/75 = 14/75
