Answer:

y= -5x +24

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Given that the slope is -5, m= -5.

Substitute m= -5 into the equation:

y= -5x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation:

When x= 3, y= 9,

9= -5(3) +c

9= -15 +c

c= 9 +15

c= 24

Thus, the equation of the line is y= -5x +24.

Lily said that n=3 is a solution of the equation 16+n=18.Is Lily correct ?Explain

MAVERICK [17]

No, Lily is not correct. This is because 16+3 does not equal 18. So to find N, you take 18 and subtract 16.
18-16=n
18-16=2
so n=2
16+2=18.

In a different dimension, cows have $x+3$ legs, with 3 toes on each leg. Chickens have $2x-4$ legs, with 7 toes on each leg. If

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

20x-10

Step-by-step explanation:

Cows have $x+3$ legs and 3 toes on each leg, if we want to find the number of toes of ONE cow we have to multiply the legs by the toes giving the following:

$3(x+3) \quad (1)$

But we have two cows so (1) we have to multiply it by 2 giving a total of:

$2(3(x+3))\\6(x+3)\\6x+18 \quad (2)$

By the other hand chickens have $2x-4$ legs and 7 toes on each leg, if we want to find the number of toes we have to multiply the legs by the toes giving the following:
