So to solve for y, we need to get y alone on one side of the equation. So we are going to subtract 9x from both sides of the equation to get:

And since y is negative, we are going to divide both sides by -1 in order to make the y positive:

3 of anything is almost always less than 5 of the same thing.
That's true for cows, rocks, trees, fish, salt-shakers, and babies.
I can't think of any object where it wouldn't be true.
Why wouldn't it be true for tenths ?
Let me say it another way:
No. 3/10 is <em>less than</em> 5/10 .
Answer: 40%
Step-by-step explanation: First determine whether the number increases or decreases. Since the number changes from 100 to 140 it's getting bigger, so it increases.
To find the percent increase, we use the following formula.
The amount of change is the difference between the two numbers which is 40 and we get this by subtracting 100 from 140. The original number will be the number that we started with which is 100.
140/100 simplifies to 0<em>.</em>4.
Finally, we want the percent increase so we write 0<em>.</em>4 as a percent by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right to get 40%.
Therefore, the percent increase is 40%.
Answer:
C. Point A lies on ray BC
Step-by-step explanation:
Points A and C can be connected by a segment which would be a measure of the distance between the points. Locating point B between AC, makes the three points lying on segment AC.
A ray extends from a point to infinity, a line extend to infinity on both sides, while a segment is known to have two endpoints. Therefore, points AC are the end points of the segment AC, and point B between this segment confirms that point B lies on the segment AC. Therefore, Point A lies on ray BC is not correct.
