Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8x - 2(x - 7) = 20 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

8x - 2x + 14 = 20, that is

6x + 14 = 20 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

6x = 6 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 1

How many times can 200 go into 487

2.435 times or if it’s to the nearest whole number then it can go into it twice. 200+200= 400. It can’t go in 3 times because that would be 600.

What’s the slope of the line in the graph?

zloy xaker [14]

Check the picture below, let's use those two points on the line to get its slope.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{3}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{0}}}\implies \cfrac{2}{2}\implies 1$
