Explanation:

When something is subtracted from both sides of the equation, the justification is the <em>subtraction property of equality</em>. When something multiplies both sides of the equation, the justification is the <em>multiplication property of equality</em>. (This should not be a mystery.)

Here, the equation is solved by subtracting 17/3, then subtracting 1/2x, then multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x. After each of these steps is a simplification.

  \begin{array}{cc}\dfrac{17}{3}-\dfrac{3}{4}x=\dfrac{1}{2}x+5&\text{given}\\\\\dfrac{17}{3}-\dfrac{3}{4}x-\dfrac{17}{3}=\dfrac{1}{2}x+5-\dfrac{17}{3}&\text{subtraction property ...}\\\\-\dfrac{3}{4}x=\dfrac{1}{2}x-\dfrac{2}{3}&\text{simplify}\\\\-\dfrac{3}{4}x-\dfrac{1}{2}x=\dfrac{1}{2}x-\dfrac{2}{3}-\dfrac{1}{2}x&\text{subtraction property ...} \end{array}

  \begin{array}{cc}-\dfrac{5}{4}x=-\dfrac{2}{3}&\text{simplify}\\\\-\dfrac{5}{4}x\times-\dfrac{4}{5}=-\dfrac{2}{3}\times-\dfrac{4}{5}&\text{multiplication property ...}\\\\x=\dfrac{8}{15}&\text{simplify} \end{array}

What is the y-intercept?<br> y-3=1\2(x+2)
Margaret [11]
Y-3=1/2(x+2)

To find the y-intercept, we must first get the equation in slope intercept form. Start off by distributing 1/2 into the parentheses.

y-3= 1/2x+1
Add 3 to both sides

y= 1/2x+4

The slope is whatever is in front of x, in this case, 1/2. The y-intercept is the number after that which would be 4
