y=mx+b is the equation of a line;
m=slope , b= y-intercept
m=4 ; so we have : y=4x+b
We are give a set of points which it passes through, we can simply plug them in:
-2 = 4(3)+b (3 is the x and -2 is the y)
We get -2 = 12 +b .... -14=b
our final equation is : y=4x-14
What are you looking for. slope?
If you were to buy 5 DVDs and 3 videotapes, For 5 DVDs, it would be $40 for 5 DVDs, and $18 for 3 videotapes. I hope this helps :)
First of all, the first power of 'x' is the highest power in the whole equation,
so we only expect one solution.
You said that <span><u>3x+9 = 21+7x </u>
Subtract 3x from each side:
9 = 21 + 4x
Subtract 21 from each side:
-12 = 4x
Divide each side by 4 :
<u>-3 = x </u>
