Answer:
a = (p - 3b)/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).
p = 10a + 3b
First, subtract 3b from both sides.
p (-3b) = 10a + 3b (-3b)
p - 3b = 10a
Next, isolate the a. Divide 10 from both sides.
(p - 3b)/10 = (10a)/10
(p - 3b)/10 = a
a = (p - 3b)/10 is your answer.

So the two numbers can be represented as x and y
so x is first and y is second
y=2(x)-8
so y=2x-8
IF THEY ARE CONSECUTIVE
If they are consecutive numbers then
x+1=y
subtitute
x+1=2x-8
subtract x from both sides
1=x-8
add 8 to both sides and get
9=x
put it into the equation and get
y=2(9)-8
y=18-8
y=10
so x=9
y=10
IF X AND Y ARE CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS (1,2,3,4 not 2.3 or 1,3,5,8)
14.50 x 2 (2 1/2 hours = 1 hour) = $29.00 + $14.50 (for another 1/2 an hour) = $43.50. Then, divide 14.50 in half for the other 15 minutes that weren't accounted for yet, so: $14.50/2 = $7.25 then add it to our previous total: $43.50 + $7.25 = $50.75 is your answer :) Hope I helped
To solve this simply divide 4 by 3 and use the long division and do the same for 11 and 9, then compare the values.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the slope, subtract -7 and -7, which is -7-(-7)=-7+7=0
Then subtract 7 and -2, which is 7-(-2) = 7+2=9
Divide 0 and 9 which equals 0
the slope is 0
