Lets say that the vertical line in Y and Horizontal line in X
Take any point from either the number 8 diagonal or number 17 diagonal and see the value it has on both X and Y line and sum them , u will find the sum is always the same , this is because all the squares made by closest numbers r the same as any of the squares in this , think this as a graph paper that makes more sense if u r trying to understand ....
−3x + 4 - (<span>5x−2)
= </span>−3x + 4 - 5x + 2
= - 8x +6
answer is <span>−8x+6 (first choice)</span>
Ok so lets start with the 5 dozen there are 12 eggs in one dozen so we do 12*5 which gives us 60 and then we figure out what 3/4 of 12 is that sounds confusing the way i typed it. an example is make four piles each evenly numbered so four piles of three so take three of those piles which gives you the number nine so 60 + 9 gives you 69 so Jesse has 69 eggs.
So first, here, subtract 17 from both sides.
17 + 3f = 14
- 17 -17
3f = -3
Then divide both sides by 3
f = -1
