If y = 2x and 3x - 3y = 2, then x =

The value of x is equal to -2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem it says that y equals 2x, and that 3x - 3y = 2.

The first step is to substitute 2x into y.

3x - 3(2x) = 2.

The next step is to use distributive property.

-3(2x) = -6x.

Now we need to add like terms.

3x - 6x = -3x.

Which gives us the equation -3x = 2.

The final step is to divide on both sides to get the value of x.

-3x/-3 = 2/-3.

x = -2/3.

So as you can see, x is equal to -2/3.

We can also check to make sure by redoing the problem, but substituting the value of x.

3(-2/3) - 3(2 * -2/3) = 2.

-2 - 3 * -4/3 = 2.

-2 + 4 = 2.

2 = 2.

The value of x is indeed -2/3.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
