Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The main idea of how to solve it is to isolate the variable. Whatever you multiply, divide, add, or subtract on one side, you must do the same to the other side so that both sides are equal.

3(x-1) = 21

3(x-1) / 3 = 21 / 3

x - 1 = 7

+ 1 + 1

x = 6

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

First distribute

then +3 to both sides

which becomes 3x = 21

then divide both sides by 3 to get X by itself

On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line has a positive slope and goes through (negative 3, 1) and (0, 3). Everything to th

Allushta [10]

Answer:

$y>\frac{2}{3}x+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Determine the slope of the dashed line

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have

(-3,1) and (0,3)

substitute

$m=\frac{3-1}{0+3}$

$m=\frac{2}{3}$

step 2

Find the equation of the dashed line in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=\frac{2}{3}$

$b=3$ ---> given problem

substitute

$y=\frac{2}{3}x+3$

step 3

Find the equation of the inequality

we know that

Is a dashed line and everything to the left of the line is shaded

$y>\frac{2}{3}x+3$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
