Let x equal a number
3x + 5 = 26
3x = 21
x = 7
the number is 7!
Answer:
a < 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2a+3 <10
subtract 3 from each side
2a +3 -3 < 10-3
2a < 7
divide by 2
a < 7/2
a < 3.5
y = 0.6x - 3.2
The general form of the desired equation is
y = mx + b
where
m = slope of the line
b = y intercept of the line
If two lines are parallel, their slopes will be the same, Since the slope of the
given line "y = 0.6x +3" is 0.6, that will also be the slope of the desired line.
So our equation becomes:
y = 0.6x + b
Now we can substitute the x and y value of the desired point we want the new line to pass through and find b. So
y = 0.6x + b
-5 = 0.6(-3) + b
-5 = -1.8 + b
-3.2 = b
So the desired equation is now
y = 0.6x - 3.2
