Answer: x= 13
Step-by-step explanation:
X+8= 2x-5
+5. +5
X+13= 2x
-× -×
13=x
Hope this helps
Can you send me a picture of the question and graph?

<u>Data in the table:</u>
<u>PH 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 </u>
<u>Bacteria 116 120 131 136 141 151 148 163</u>
- <em>Create a scatter plot to represent the data: Based on the data and your scatter plot, what do you think a good linear function would be to represent the data?</em>
<h3>Solution</h3>
<em>See attached for scatter plot</em>
We can see the chart is close to linear function. Let's build one based on data in the table
<u>The line will be in the form of:</u>
<u>If we use two points and get the equation</u>
<u>Finding the slope:</u>
- m = (141-116)/(8-4) = 25/4 = 6.25
<u>Then, finding y-intercept:</u>
- 116 = 6.25*4 + b
- b = 116 - 25 = 91
<u>So the line is:</u>
<em>Note: This is approximate best fit graph and it is attached as well. Exact formula for the line is built by using different method and is very close to the one above</em>

The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.
"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":
The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.
"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."
The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.
Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.
That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.
0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x
Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.
0.75x + 1.5 = x
-0.25x = -1.5
x = 6
The total amount of candies was 6 lb.
The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.
The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
