Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We can factor out a 1 from -3 to get
.
We know from simple arithmetic that
.
So, our answer is 
Answer:
y=(-4/3)x
Step-by-step explanation:
you put the points into this equation to find the slope
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
now lets label the points
(6,-8)
x1=6 and y1=-8
(3,-4)
x2=3 and y2=-4
Input into equation
(-4-(-8))/(3-6)=
(-4+8)/(3-6)
4/-3
The abscissa is the x coordinate whereas the ordinate is the y coordinate. Both x and y are positive in the first quadrant only.
Answer: Step-by-step explanation:
57 - 10x = 45
-10x=-12
x=1.2
- 3y + 10x = -5
-3y+10=-5
-3y=-15
y=5
Let X be the variable used to represent the expression of the total number of books that Mario has read.
We used 4X to represent "four times the number of books". Then we add -2 to interpret the words "for two less than".
Therefore, we have an expression of 4X-2 for the total number of books that Mario has read.
