Which value of x makes the open sentence true? 7 - x = 3x + 5a. x = 3b. x = 0.5c. x = 2d. x = 1.5

x=1/2 or 0.5

B. 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one: Add x to both sides

you then get the equation 7=4x+5

Step two: subtract 5 from both sides

you then get the equation 2=4x

Divide both sides by 4 to undo the multiplication.

2/4=4x/4x

you get x=2/4 which simplifies to 1/2.

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

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

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
