78=.26x
divide both side by .26
and it will equal 300
when you calculate it it will be 3 but put 300
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: 
where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)
Given that the slope is 3, we can plug this into y=mx+b as <em>m</em>:
Now, to solve for <em>b</em>, simply plug in the given point:
Therefore, the y-intercept is 5. Plug this back into the equation:
I hope this helps!
We'll represent the distance as d and the time as t.
d= 3(t+7) because Gilda is 7 minutes late when travelling 3 mph
d= 4(t-5) because Gilda is 5 minutes early at 4 mph
d= 3t + 21
d= 4t -20
3t +21 =4t -20
41=t
d= 3(41) +21= 144
The distance is 144 miles.
Answer:
4 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'a' represent one of the numbers. Then the other is 12-a, and their difference is ...
a - (12-a) = -4
2a = 8 . . . . add 12
a = 4 . . . . . divide by 2
12-a = 8 . . . . find the other number
The two numbers are 4 and 8.
The first step to solving this is to multiply both sides of the equation by 3
8 + 10y = 9y - 12
now move the variable to the left side and change its sign
8 + 10y - 9y = -12
move the constant to the right side and change its sign
10y - 9y = -12 - 8
collect the like terms for y
y = -12 - 8 (it equals 1 when you subtract 10 from 9 which is the same is simply saying "y")
calculate the difference on the other side of the equals sign
y = -20
this means that the correct answer to your question is -20.
