Ten less than three times the sum of x and seven is twenty-six.

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

10 - 3 ( x + 7 ) = 26

First Step: Distribute

- 3 to ( x + 7 )

=  10 - 3 x - 21 = 26

Second Step: Combine like terms

10 - 21

=  - 11 - 3 x = 26

Third Step: Add from both sides

26 + 11

=  - 3 x = 37

Fourth Step: Divide from both sides

37 / - 3

x = 12

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
