The answer is C: 3 books, 2.5 weeks.
D, it’s the only answer that equals 30. When splitting up the 6, you’re doing the distributive property, which is what D is doing.
Answer:
A) y=.50x+15
B) The graph would be a line starting in the bottom left corner and rising to the upper right, the start of the y axis would be 1, as it represents the miles, and the start of the x axis would be 0.50, as it represents the amount of money charged per mile.
C) If you apply the formula y=mx+b to the equation, you will see that 0.50 is the slope, and 15 is the y-intercept.
15. -(-7y + 12) = 7y - 12
16. 1/a = 16/18
cross multiply
16a = 18
a = 18/16 = 9/8
17. 8x - 12 = 4x + 24
8x - 4x = 24 + 12
4x = 36
x = 36/4
x = 9
18. -6b > 42 4b > -4
b < 42/-6 b > -4/4
b < - 7 b > -1
so b < -7 and b > -1
19. 6 more then the product of 8 and n
6 + 8n
20. 45 = 3b + 69
45 - 69 = 3b
-24 = 3b
-24/3 = b
-8 = b
