A student solved an equation, as shown below.
The first line shows 1 over 4 left Parenthesis 8 minus 12x right parenthesis equals x minus 2 left parenthesis 2x plus 1 right parenthesis, second line shows 2 minus 3x equals x minus 4x plus 2, third line shows 2 minus 3x equals 3x plus 2, fourth line shows 2 minus 3x plus 3x equals negative 3x plus 3x plus 2. Fifth line shows 2 equals 2.

The student solved the equation correctly because the original equation has one solution.
Jackson solved the problem 3x-8=2(2x-7) using the following steps:
STEP 1: Use Distributive Property to get 3x-8=4x-14
STEP 2: Use Addition Property of Equality to get 3x = 4x-14+8
STEP 3: Combine Like Terms to get 3x = 4x-6
STEP 4: Use Subtraction Property of Equality to get 3x-4x= -6
STEP 5: Combine Like Terms to get (-x)=-6
What is the last step?
A.
Use Property of Equality to get x= (-6)
B.
Divide both sides by -1 to get x=6
C.
Divide both sides by -1 to get x= (-6)
D.
Use Multiplication Property of Equality to get x=6
B. Divide both sides by -1 to get x=6

This is a ​? relationship.
The y-intercept is ​? and the slope is ​?
The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is ​?
This is a linear relationship.
The y-intercept is (0,1) and the slope is 2.
The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = 2x + 1.
is the proportional or non-proportional
The relationship described by the points is not proportional because in a proportional relationship, the ratio of the dependent variable (y) to the independent variable (x) remains constant throughout. In this case, based on the given set of points, the relationship does not have a constant ratio between y and x.
A computer technician charges a fixed amount for a repair, plus an additional amount per hour. The equation below describes y, the total amount the technician charges, in dollars, based on x hours for the repair.
y = 45x + 75
What is the meaning of the initial amount for the equation?

A.
It means the technician charges $45 per hour for the repair.

B.
It means the technician charges a fixed amount of $45 for the repair.

C.
It means the technician charges a fixed amount of $75 for the repair.
C. It means the technician charges a fixed amount of $75 for the repair.
