The answer is 3 because you have to add 3 on both sides. Then you will get 5x =15 then to get X by itself you would have to divide by 5 on Both sides 5x/5 cancels its self out then your left with x 15/5=3 so you will get X=3 therefor the number is 3

5x-3=12
+3 +3
5x=15
———-
5 5

X=3

What is the equation of the line passing through the points (Two-fifths, StartFraction 19 Over 20 EndFraction) and (one-third, S

Answer:

You have to find the slope first. Which is y1-y1 divided by x1-x2

Then you find the y-intercept which you take the slope for m like for example if you find the slope, 2, then the equation should be y=2x+b. You take the coordinates on the problem and put them on the y or x on the equation. Then when you find the y-intercept you add it to the equation like for the example that I used above, you have to put the y-intercept on b. So if the y-intercept is 5 then the equation would be y=2x+5.
