The point a is located 6 units to the left of the y-axis and 7 units below the x-axis. what are the coordinates of point a?

The x-coordinate is the number of units to the right of the y-axis. When the point is to the left, we consider the number to be negative. The x-coordinate is -6.

The y-coordinate is the number units above the x-axis. When the point is below the x-axis, we consider the number to be negative. The y-coordinate is -7.

The (x, y) coordinates of the point are (-6, -7).

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
