I feel sorry for Becky and Tommy. The one who didn't come up with x=-10/3 made an error.
first bring 8x to the left and -25 to the right and simplify:
-4x-8x = 25+15 => -12x = 40
x = -40/12 = -10/3
Huh? What does that even mean lol
In math (or English, for that matter), a question is never true or false. Only a statement can have such attributes.
If you make the statement "if A ate many sugar, A will get diabetes," in math it cannot be decided wheter it is true or false without additional information about the truth values of the statements "A ate many sugar" and "A will get diabetes".
Hey there!!
The basic slope-intercept formula :
y = mx+ b where ' m ' is the slope and ' b ' is the slope-intercept.
Given equation : 7x - 2y = 8
We will have to isolate the ' y '
... 7x - 2y = 8
Subtract 7x on both sides
... -2y = -7x + 8
Divide by - 2 on both sides
... y = ( 7x / 2 ) - 4
Hence,
slope = 7/2 = 3.5
y-intercept = ( 0 , -4 )
Hope it helps!!
