Step-by-step explanation:
3 - 2(b - 2) = 2 - 7b
To solve this first distribute -2 to (b - 2)
3 + (-2b + (-2) x -2) = 2 - 7b
when we simplify this it becomes:
3 + (-2b + 4) = 2 - 7b
We take (-2b + 4) out of the parenthesis:
3 - 2b + 4 = 2 - 7b
Now simplify again.
7 - 2b = 2 - 7b
Now send all the b's to one side and constants on the other.
7 - 2 = -7b +2b
5 = 5b
b = 1
Answer:
B is the correct answer I believe
Answer:
(-2,21)
Step-by-step explanation:
2 days ago, Paulo's commute time was halfway between his commute times 8 and 9 days ago.
8 days ago means that x-coordinate -8 represents this day. Count 8 units to the left and find that when x = -8, y = 24 minutes.
9 days ago means that x-coordinate -9 represents this day. Count 9 units to the left and find that when x = -9, y = 18 minutes.
Find halfway commute time between points (-8,24) and (-9,18):

then coordinates that Paulo should graph are
(-2, 21)
(-2 means 2 days ago, 21 is the halfway)
Answer:
x=1000 or 10 to the 3rd power
