Answer:
answer is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3(x+7)=10
2x/3+14/3=10
2x/3=10-14/3==>30-14/3
2x/3=16/3
x=16/3*3/2
x=8
So the equation is x + 2x + 5= 29
Here are the steps -5 -5
-----------------------
3x = 24
Divide both sides by 3 so you get
x = 8
Then look back at the question, the second number has to be twice that number plus 5
So the 1st number is 8 The second # is 2(8)+5= 21
The unit rate in this problem is one payment per month. Since Martha has made 86 payments, that means it has been 86 months. Because of that, we can simply multiply 3335*86 to get 286810.
So she so far has paid $286,810 for her house payment

Find Slope :
--------------------------------------------------
y = -2/7x + 9
Slope = -2/7
Perpendicular slope= 7/2
--------------------------------------------------
Find y - intercept :
--------------------------------------------------
y = mx + b
y = 7/2 x + b
At (4, -6)
-6 = 7/2 (4) + b
-6 = 14 + b
b = -6 - 14
b = -20
--------------------------------------------------
Form equation :
--------------------------------------------------
y = mx + b
y = 7/2 x - 20
2y = 7x - 40
--------------------------------------------------
Answer: 2y = 7x - 40
--------------------------------------------------
