8x−2=−9+7x
Simplify:
8x−2=−9+7x
8x+−2=−9+7x
8x−2=7x−9
Subtract 7x from both sides.
8x−2−7x=7x−9−7x
x−2=−9
Add 2 to both sides.
x−2+2=−9+2
x=−7
It would be the second one
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b is slope intercept form.
b = y intercept. where the line first passes through on the y axis
that number is 3.
y = mx + 3.
to find M (slope) you have to do RISE / RUN.
Run is going left or right from a point
Rise is going up or down from a point.
To make sure you find the slope, when you Rise and Run, it has to hit another point on the graph.
From the y - intercept 3, RISE (go up) 1 and RUN (go left) 2.
So, the slope is 1/2.
Answer:
Cost of the box of pencils = x = $4
Cost of the notebook = x+2 = 4+2 = $6
Cost of package of pens = 3x = 3(4) = $12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of the box of pencils = x
Cost of the notebook = 2 more than the pencils cost = x+2
Cost of package of pens = 3 times the pencils cost = 3x
The total was $22, so we can say:
(x)+(x+2)+(3x) = 22
5x=22-2
x=20/5
x=$4
Cost of the box of pencils = x = $4
Cost of the notebook = x+2 = 4+2 = $6
Cost of package of pens = 3x = 3(4) = $12
