Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 5x = 3(x - 2.5)
-----------------------
B)
Distribute
5x = 3x - 7.5
Subtract 3x from both sides
2x = -7.5
Divde both sides by 2
x = -3.75
-----------------------
C)
5 * (-3.75) = 3(-3.75 - 2.5)
-18.75 = -18.75
D)
Tanya paid –$3.75 for each of 5 items
Tony paid –$6.25 for each of 3 items
There seems to be an error in the question since the cost of items is negative
Tony bought fewer items and paid less for each.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope. The slope of the given line is 3. The easy way to do this, the one that uses our logical brains as opposed to our mathematical brain, tells us that since there is only one choice that has a given slope of 3, that is the one that we want. The second choice down is the only one that has a slope of 3.
Mathematically,
and
and
so
y = 3x - 7 (the second choice)
