Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

"Six times the quantity, x-2, is 24" can be rewritten symbolically as

6(x - 2) = 24.  We are to solve this for x.

To do that, divide both sides of the above equation by 6, to isolate x - 2:

x - 2 = 4

Adding 2 to both sides isolates x:  x = 6

10 POINTS IDENTIFY THE SLOPE, Y-INTERCEPT AND GRAPH.<br> 1. Y = 2x + 3<br> 2. Y = 3/4x - 2
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer for problem 1: slope = 2, y intercept = 3

Answer for problem 2: slope = 3/4, y intercept = -2

Explanation:

Both equations are in the form y = mx+b. This is known as slope intercept form. This is because we can read off the values of the slope and y intercept very quickly. We have y = 2x+3 match up with y = mx+b. The m is the slope and b is the y intercept. So m = 2 and b = 3 for this equation. A similar situation happens with the other equation as well. It might help to rewrite the second equation into y = (3/4)x + (-2).

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The solution is  (2,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of hours to change a fuel injection unit

y-----> the number of hours to change a transmission

we know that

5x+10y=70 -----> equation A

8x+8y=64 -----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point (2,6)
