Okay. So first you subtract 2x from each side. That will give you 4y= -2x+18 (you want to get y by itself). Then you divide both sides by 4. It should equal> y= 1/2x +9/2

Answer: B) 2</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
Take away the four white small squares on the left side. To balance things out, you have to add 4 black squares to the right side.
Also, take away the two white long rectangles from the right side. To balance this out, you have to add 2 gray long rectangles to the left side.
You should have:
- 5 gray rectangles, and no squares (of any color) on the left side
- 10 black squares, no long rectangles (of any color), on the right side
From here you'll group up the 10 black squares so that you'll have 2 black squares per gray rectangle.
This means the solution is 2.
-------------------------------------
If you're curious about the algebraic way to solve, then you could do this:
3x-4 = -2x+6
3x+2x = 6+4
5x = 10
x = 10/5
x = 2
This method doesn't require us to use the visual model.
Answer:
Solution:
the boat's speed in still water: x
The speed with current: (x+3)
The speed against current: (x-3)
The equation is
3(x+3) = 4(x-3)
x = 21 mph
The distance = 3*(21+3)= 72 miles
I choose (A)
