Equation for Line
y = -1/2 x - 2
Answer:
Slope = (1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange the equation into the y = mx + b format.
-x + 2y = 5
2y = x + 5
y = (1/2)x + (5/2)
m represents slope, which is (1/2) in this question.
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x+6)=3(x+1)
2x+12=3x+3
collect the like terms
2x + 3x = 3+12
x=15/5=3
or
2x-3x = 3-12
= -9
Remark
The trick to this question is realizing what you took 1/3 of. Did you take it of the 150000 or is it 1/3 of some total you have to find. I don't think you could come up with a third choice.
It turns out that the answer is 1/3 of a number you don't know.
Equation
(1/3) x = 150000 Multiply both sides by 3
3*(1/3) x = 150000 * 3
x = 150000 * 3
x = 450000
Conclusion
The amount the company makes is 450000 dollars / year.
A. 20. plug 20 in to both equations and they will be equal to eachother
