$(x) = 52 – 3
What’s the answer

$49

Step-by-step explanation:

52-3=49

Answers:

This forms the equation 1x-5y = -15, which is the same as x-5y = -15

Explanation:

Let's find the slope. I'll pick the first two rows to form the two points needed

(x1,y1) = (0,3)

(x2,y2) = (10,5)

These are then plugged into the slope formula.

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (5-3)/(10-0)

m = 2/10

m = 1/5

m = 0.2

The y intercept is b = 3 since this is the y value when x = 0.

With m = 0.2 and b = 3, we go from y = mx+b to y = 0.2x+3

Let's multiply both sides by 5 to turn that decimal value into a whole number. I'm picking 5 since 0.2 = 1/5

So we get

y = 0.2x+3

5y = 5*(0.2x+3)

5y = 5*0.2x+5*3

5y = x+15

Now let's get x and y together, but move that 15 to its own side

5y = x+15

x+15 = 5y

x = 5y-15

x-5y = -15

This is one way to write the equation in standard form.

Standard form is Ax+By = C, where A,B,C are integers. Some math textbooks insist that A > 0. In this case, A = 1, B = -5, and C = -15.

As a way to check, we can plug in (x,y) = (15,6) from the third row of the table to see that..

x-5y = -15

15-5(6) = -15

15 - 30 = -15

-15 = -15

This verifies the third row. I'll let you check the first two rows of the table to fully confirm this equation works.
