Ur gonna have to pick an equation and solve for a variable.
2x - 2y = 6
2x = 2y + 6 ...divide everything by 2 because u want x by itself
x = y + 3
now we sub y + 3 in for x in the other equation
14x - 2y = 78
14(y + 3) - 2y = 78...distribute thru the parenthesis
14y + 42 - 2y = 78...subtract 42 from both sides, cancelling the 42 on the left
-42 -42
-----------------------
14y - 2y = 36 ...simplify
12y = 36...divide by 12 on both sides, cancelling out the 12 on the left
y = 36/12
y = 3
now , we already know that x = y + 3...and we know y = 3...so sub in 3 for y and solve for x
x = y + 3
x = 3 + 3
x = 6
solution is (6,3)
it is always a good idea to check ur answer by subbing it into one or both of the equations to see if it is correct
2x - 2y = 6......(6,3)...x = 6 and y = 3
2(6) - 2(3) = 6
12 - 6 = 6
6 = 6 (correct)
so yes, ur solution is (6,3)
When you create the number line, put 0 in the middle. Basically you put all the numbers you got from least to greatest on the number.
Since -3/2 is less than 0, it will go to the left of 0.
Since 3/2 and 5/2 are greater than 0, it will go to the right of 0.
Remember to use sub points of 1.
Best of Luck!
<span>Number of bowls left after 1 hour =
x - x/3 - 1/3 = 2x/3 - 1/3
</span><span> Number of bowls left after 2 hours = (2x/3 - 1/3) -
(2x/3 - 1/3)/2 - 1/2
= 2x/6 - 1/6 - 1/2
= 2x/6 - 4/6
= x/3 - 2/3
keep doing this untill u reach 0 bowls left
and then u'll get ur answer

Price of book in 1938 = $ 0.10
Price of book in 2011 = $ 2,161,000
Number of years over 1938-2011 = 2011 - 1938 = 73
Annual increase in the price = 
⇒ Annual increase in the price = 
⇒ Annual increase in the price = (1.260302283 - 1 ) × 100
⇒ Annual increase in the price = 0.260302283 × 100
⇒ Annual increase in the price = 26.0302283 %
⇒ Annual increase in the price = 26%
Hence, the comic book price increased by 26% annually
