Then I'll definitely will ask you questions about maths :)
Answer: Price of Math Textbook= $42.5, Price of the Novel= $11.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = price of the Novel.
Price of Math Textbook = 8+3x
As per given , we have
Price of Math Textbook + Price of the Novel = $54
⇒ 8+3x+x = 54
⇒ 8+4x=54
⇒ 4x = 46 [subtract 8 from both sides]
⇒ x = 11.5
Price of Math Textbook = 8+3(11.5) = 8+34.5= $42.5
Hence, Price of Math Textbook= $42.5, Price of the Novel= $11.5
The correct answer is <em><u>-0.6</u></em> which in fraction form is <u><em>-3/5</em></u>
Your answer is <u><em>C. -3/5</em></u>
To form an equation with the given information, we use the formula :
y = mx + b, m being the slope and b being the y-intercept.
Since it is given that the slope is -9/7, we substitute m with -9/7.
y = -9/7x + b
To find b, we will substitute the known coordinates into the equation :
At point (-7 , 4), x = -7, y = 4
4 = -9/7 (-7) + b
4 = 9 + b
b = 4 - 9
b = -5
Now we know that b = -5, we will substitute b = -5 into the equation that we found earlier, y = -9/7 x + b :
y = - 9/7x - 5
To make it more readable, we can multiply the equation by 7:
7y = -9x - 5
7y + 9x + 5 = 0
-----------------------------------------------------------
Answer : 7y + 9x + 5 = 0

It would have no solutions that's your answer.
