Your answer is 3/7 because you have to go 5-5=0 and 5/7-2/7=3/7 so it is 3/7
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, distribute 3 into the parenthesis:
3(4 - 2x) = -2x
12 - 6x = -2x
Next, combine your x variables by adding +6x to both side:
12 - 6x = -2x (-6x and +6x cancel out)
+6x +6x
12 = 4x (divide 12 by 4 to get x by itself)
/4 /4
x = 3
In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.
y = mx + b
y = 2x + 15
slope(m) = 2 and y int (b) = 15
The initial amount is the y intercept, which is 15. The rate of change (the slope) is 2
example :
baskets picked in 1 hr :
y = 2(1) + 15
y = 2 + 15
y = 17
baskets picked in 2 hrs :
y = 2(2) + 15
y = 4 + 15
y = 19
so the slope ( rate of change) is basically saying for every hr of picking, you pick 2 baskets...so your picking 2 baskets per hr.
The y intercept (15) is telling us that they already had 15 baskets to start with.
