Solve the following equation for x to find the total number of sale items stocked on the shelves of a toy store for a certain week: x = 0.7x + 24 How many total items were stocked for that week?

80 items

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation x=0.7x + 24   can be rewritten as 1x = 0.7x + 24 because the is a number on in front  of any variable.  

1x = 0.7x + 24   subtract 0.7 from both sides

-0.7  -0.7

0.3x = 24

x = 80

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.
