Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1/2 times 2/3 equals 0.333333....
that plus 0.345 equals 0.678
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = (1/2)x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
y = (1/2)x + b
-3 = (1/2)(2) + b
-3 = 1 + b
b = -4
y = (1/2)x - 4

Multiply both sides by 3

Simplify the numerators

Multiply both sides by 6

Simplify the numerator

Multiply both sides by x
12x - 18 = 15x Subtract 12x from both sides
-18 = 3x Divide both sides by 3
-6 = x Switch the sides to make it easier to read
x = -6
Check your answer by plugging -6 in for the x in the original problem:

Plug in -6 for x

Change

to

so all denominators are the same

Change

to

for easier work

Subtract the numerators (4 - (-1) )

=

So,
x = -6 .
