Thank you so much for helping me with the first question. I have and another question that I am a little confused on also, could you please help me with this one too?
Y-8=3/7 (X-6)
I got y= 7/3x +38/7
Is this correct?
yes, except for the typo
y = 3/7 x + 38/7
Thank you again. I understand these now.
It's always a good feeling when that happens.
To verify if your answer is correct, let's solve the equation step by step:
Y - 8 = (3/7) * (X - 6)
First, distribute the (3/7) to both terms inside the parentheses:
Y - 8 = (3/7)X - (3/7) * 6
Simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
Y - 8 = (3/7)X - 18/7
Next, isolate the Y on one side by adding 8 to both sides of the equation:
Y - 8 + 8 = (3/7)X - 18/7 + 8
Simplify:
Y = (3/7)X - 18/7 + 56/7
Combine the fractions:
Y = (3/7)X + 38/7.
So, your answer is correct: Y = (3/7)X + 38/7. Well done!
