Let this number be x. The next number is (x+1). And their sum is 57. Then, we have to solve this equation x+x+1=57
Emily's number was 28
Set up a proportion:
y = 35 when x = 7
y = ? when x = 10
To get x from 7 to 10, you have to multiply by 
. Therefore, you do the same to 35, and you get:
And your answer is 50 :)
To find how many minutes of talk time is available per dolla, you have to divide 160 (number of minutes) by 40 (cost)
160/40 = 4
Therefore, it's 4 minutes per dollar
Jessica purchased a DVD that was on sale for 12% off.
The sales tax in her county is 3%.
Let, y represent the original price of the DVD.
We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.
Here, we will form an algebraic expression, according to the given data.
So,
The original price of the DVD = y
Discount on the original price :
y * 12/100
=3y/25
Price after discount :
y - 3y/25
=25y - 3y/25
=22y/25
Sales tax amount :
22y/25 * 3/100
11y/25 * 3/50
=33y/1250
Final price including the sales tax :
22y/25 + 33y/1250
1100y + 33y/1250
1133y/1250
(This will be considered as the final result.)

Given the graph, we need to look for the equation of the line using the linear equation since the plot is obviously a line.
To do that, we need two points. The simplest points to locate are the two points that converges the x and y axes which are (3,0) and (4,0), respectively. Now we apply the linear equation formulation:
y = mx+b
First, we need to get the slope.
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (4-0)/(0-3)
m = -4/3
Since we know the slope, we need to look for the b which is also the y-intercept or the point at which x = 0.
So at x = 0, which point or value at y-axis hits with the line? It is the point (0,4).
Therefore, b = 4.
Completing the equation,
y = -(4/3)x + 4
or we can write it as
4x + 3y = 12.
Now to know which of the choices is correct, we simply assign values and see for ourselves which is true.
Let x = 2, so y = 2
4(2) + 3y = 12
8 < 12
If you assign more values, you will notice that 4x + 3y is always less than or equal to 12. Thus, the answer is letter a.
