Explanation:
_______________________________________________
(12a <span>+ 7b) + (−6a − 9) + (14a − 12b) =
12a </span><span>+ 7b + 1(−6a − 9) + 1(14a − 12b) =
</span>
12a + 7b + (1*-6a) + (1*-9) + (1*14a) + (1* -12b) =
12a + 7b − 6a − 9 + 14a − 12b = ?
Combine the "like terms:
12a − 6a + 14a = 20a ;
7b − 12b = - 5b ;
and then we have "-9" ;

So, write as: " 20a − 5b − 9 " ; which is: Answer choice: [A].

Answer:
y = -0.25x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
You can either just read off the slope m = -0.25 and the intersection with the vertical n = -6 or you form a system of equations from points you choose on the graph. For example:
(0,-6);(4,-7)
The general equation for a line:
y = m*x + n
The two points on the graph form a system of two equations:
1. -6 = m*0 + n
2. -7 = m*4 + n
You can read off n right away fro equation 1:
n = -6
Plugging n into equation 2:
-7 = m*4 - 6 => -1 = m*4 => m = -1/4
Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.
5x<30
Step 1: Divide both sides by 5.
5x
5
<
30
5
x<6
<5 means less than 5
≤5 means less than or equal to 5
> 5 means greater than 5
≥ 5 means greater than or equal to 5
Hope this helps:)
