X=3

Explanation-

(x-1)+(x-2)=3
x-1+(x-2)=3
x-1+x-2=3
Then collect the two like terms
x-1+x-2=3=
2x-1-2=3
Calculate the difference
x-1+x-2=3=
2x-3=3
———————
2x-3=3
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2x=3+3
———————————————————-
2x=3+3
Add the numbers

2x=6
————————————————-
2x=6

Divide both sides of the equation by two

X=3

There you go. Have a great day! :)

Give two points with integer coordinates that have a slope of 10/7 between them
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

(0,0) and (7,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that the slope - intercept  form of a linear equation can be given as

y = mx + b

where m = slope and b = y intercept

in our case, we are given that slope, m = 10/7, hence our equation becomes

y = (10/7) x + b

since we are not given any information about the y-intercept, we can simply pick a value for b that is most convenient for us.

We pick b = 0, hence the equation simplifies to:

y = (10/7) x  ----- eq 1

we can see immediately that if x = 0, y must also = 0

proof if x = 0:

y = (10/7)(0) =0

since 0 is an integer, then (0,0) must be the first point.

we can also observe that for y to be an integer, we must get rid of the denominator 7. We can do this by multiply the right side by 7. Hence we let x = 7:

y = (10/7) x 7

y = 10

hence (7,10) is the second point.

Who’s right? And why?
kvasek [131]

Answer: Raymond is correct

The DJ charges $75 an hour.

=================================================

Explanation:

x = number of hours

y = total cost

The DJ does a 3-hour event for $275. This means one point is (x,y) = (3,275)

Another point is (5,425) because a 5-hour event costs $425.

Let's find the slope of the line through these two points.

(x_1,y_1) = (3,275) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)  = (5,425)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{425 - 275}{5 - 3}\\\\m = \frac{150}{2}\\\\m = 75\\\\

The slope is 75, meaning that each time y goes up by 75, x goes up by 1.

Flipped around it means each time x goes up by 1, y goes up by 75.

This means each time we add on an extra hour, the cost goes up by $75.

The DJ charges $75 an hour. Raymond is correct.
