Make sure it's fully reduced. 2 - x = 5/8

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, subtract 2 from both sides

2 (-2) - x = (5/8) - 2

-x = 5/8 - 2

Make sure they have the same denominator. Remember that what you multiply to the denominator, you multiply the numerator:

-x = 5/8 - 16/8

-x  = - 11/8

Isolate the x. Divide -1 from both sides

(-x)/-1 = (-11/8)/-1

x = 11/8

11/8 is your answer for x

Hello!

The equation can be written as seen below. You only need a y-intercept and slope to write the equation.

y=-2x+3                             (it intercepts at a y-value of 3).

I hope this helps!

A bottle of water costs $1.50. Explain how you would make a graph of four ordered pairs to model the total cost of the water in
Vanyuwa [196]
Total cost = 1.50 per bottle
y = 1.50x
If x = 1, y = $ 1.50 (1,1.5)
If x = 2, y = $ 3.00 (2,3)
If x = 3, y = $ 4.50 (3, 4.5)
If x = 4, y = $ 6.00 (4, 6)
There are your 4 sets of ordered pairs to graph.
You could continue with more x-values to get more ordered pairs.
