Answer 20

brb one sec

Answer 21

Do you still need help with the problem.

yes

What that means is you replace the variables with numbers and see if you get a true statement

Answer 24

ok

Answer 25

Look at $$\Huge y=5x-1$$

Answer 26

Replace x and y with values from the table and see if you get a true statement?

Answer 27

skullpatrol is right. x is the variable on the left. You plug it into the equation. Try all of them out and see what you get. :) :) :) Let me know if you want some websites to help you out.

Answer 28

( 0, -1 ) means replace x with 0 and replace y with -1.

Answer 29

can i see some websites

Answer 46

Do you see what I did there?

Answer 47

yes

Answer 48

So that means A is the answer :-)

Answer 49

NO disrespect to skullpatrol but I would solve it differently. It isn't that hard. All you have to do is take the equation and plug in the x to the number that is next to x. Look at the drawing.
