Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

6(x - 1) = 9(x - 4)

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute: 6x - 6 = 9x - 36
Subtract 6x on both sides: -6 = 3x - 36
Isolate x term: 30 = 3x
Isolate x: 10 = x
Rewrite: x = 10

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x: 6(10 - 1) = 9(10 - 4)
Subtract: 6(9) = 9(6)

Here we see that the 2 expressions are exactly the same.

∴ x = 10 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, 4)

m = $\frac{4-6}{8-3}$ = - $\frac{2}{5}$ , hence

y = - $\frac{2}{5}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (8, 4), then

4 = - $\frac{16}{5}$ + c ⇒ c = 4 + $\frac{16}{5}$ = $\frac{36}{5}$

y = - $\frac{2}{5}$ x + $\frac{36}{5}$ ← equation of line

Hank and Lynn are both paying off car loans. • Hank paid $2,000 upfront when he bought his car, and he pays $200 each month. • L

Naddik [55]

Answer:

the linkage between both the number of months and the amount charged is proportional to both loans from Hank and Lynn.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the number of months and the total cost paid proportionally is shown below:-

Both Hank and Lynn pay off car loans.

When Hank bought his car, he paid $2,000 in advance, and he needs to pay $200 each month.

Thus, forward to x months the total cost paid (C(h)) is

C(h) = 2000 + 200x ... (i)

So, that relationship is proportional, but not proportional directly.

When Lynn purchased her vehicle, she didn't pay any cash immediately front and she needs to pay $275 every month.

So, after x months the total amount paid (C(l)) is

C(l) = 275x ..... (ii)

This is, therefore, a direct proportionality that is also proportional.

Furthermore the linkage between both the number of months and the amount charged is proportional to both loans from Hank and Lynn.
