-30-6r=36
We move all terms to the left:
-30-6r-(36)=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-6r-66=0
We move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right
-6r=66
r=66/-6
r=-11
The answer is 4/7. see it from the multiple of 3...3*4 =12 and 3*7= 21. So this is the answer: 4/7.
To complete this equation, it is vital to know the slope. To find the slope using points, you subtract the first x from the second, and the first y from the second. This gives you a slope of 4. Then, you must follow point-slope form and choose one of the order pairs to use. You then write y then the negative of your number. Since the number is already negative, you turn it into a positive. On the other side of the "=" sign, you write your slope, 4 distributing to x. Then you write the negative of your x value. Since it is already negative, it turns into a positive. This gives you a final answer of y+1=4(x+2). I realize that this doesn't line up with your fill-in-the-blank answer, so I am sorry if it doesn't work.
You would have no problem at all if it said "7 cows minus 2 cows", or "7 books minus 2 books". The THINGS just happen to be m's instead of cows or books.
