A while back, either James borrowed $12 from his friend Rita or she borrowed $12 from him, but he can’t quite remember which. Either way, he is planning to pay her back or ask that she pay him back this afternoon. If he has $42.80 in his wallet, which equation represents the amount of money he may have after he sees Rita? |x – 42.80| = 12
|x + 42.80| = 12
|x – 12| = 42.80
|x + 12| = 42.80

|x – 42.80| = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x – 42.80 = -12

x=30.8

x – 42.80 = 12

x=54.8

there will be 35 boys in each team. : )

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
