The value of a collectible coin can be represented by the equation y = 2x + 9.74 , where x represents the number of years that consuello has owned the coin and y represents the total value, in dollars, of the coin. what was the value of the coin when consuello originally purchased it?

19.48

Step-by-step explanation:

x= -3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify brackets

4 - x - 1 = 6

step 2: simpilfy

3 - x = 6

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides

-x = 6 - 3

step 4: simpilfy 6 - 3

-x = 3

step 5: multiply both sides by -1

x = -3

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17
