Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of a linear equation is
.
The given line has equation:

This is the point-slope form of the given line.
To find the standard form, we clear the fraction

We expand the parenthesis now to get:

We group the variables on the LHS and the constants on the RHS.


Multiply through by -1

This is of the form:
.
the answer is x=2 hope this helps :)
Answer:
x is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
6 (x + 1) = 24
6 (x) + 6(1) = 24
6x + 6 = 24
Subtract 6 on both sides
6x + 6 - 6 = 24 - 6
6x + 0 = 18
6x = 18
x = 18/6
x = 3
M= 20 because the rate of change is -3.
