PLEASE HELP ASAP. THIS IS A LITTLE CONFUSING. I WILL TRY AND GIVE BRAINLEST TO ANYBODY WHO ANSWERS. I HAVE 1000 POINTS AND I NEED THEM GONE. PLEASE ANSWER Your friend is new to your school. They haven't had the lesson on solving linear equations. They send you an email asking for your help. They want to know how to solve linear equations. In your own words using mathematical terminology, explain to your friend how to solve a linear equation that requires you use the distributive property. Your writing must be at least 5 complete sentences. Do not give me a list of steps. This must be an explanation using mathematical terminology.

In order to solve a linear equation we would need to find it first. A linear equation is set up as y=Mx+b, where we have to find M and B. To find these we must look at the graph. The point on the y axis, which is the line going up and down, is the b. Now we need to find M. To find M we have to look at the next points on the line and rise (go up) over run (either to the left or the right). When looking at the next point we can go up then to the side. If you go to the right then the amount you are going is a positive but if you are going to the left then the amount you are counting is a negative. The numbers we get as we rise and as we run turn into a fraction. If you are able to simplify the fraction then you can. Once you have done that you can plug in you M and B.

The first one, i believe, would be correct. all the others have one thing in common, and that's that they have repeating numbers. in the second one, x and y have repeating 6's and 3's, and in the third, x and y have repeating 6's as well. in the last one, there are repeating 3's. the first one has no repeating numbers.
