Question 178154: 1. Graph 3x-1=5x-2
2. Graph y=|x| +3
3. Graph x+2=2x-1
4. Graph y=5x-2
My answers so far:
For Number 4, I substituted x for 0
I got (0,-2) I graphed a line straight up and down.
If x=1, then y=3 give my points at (1,3) This line is sloped now. Why is it changed? Which answer is right?
For Number 2, I subbed x for 0
I got (0,-1) and again got a straight line up and down.
If I made x=1, then y=4. This gets changed again to a slated line. Is this right?
For Number 3, I subbed x for 1.
I'm confused by this bc I came up with 3=1. Are these my points?
For Number 1, I subbed x for 0
I got 3(0)-1=5(0)-2
Then -1=-2
Now what do I do?
I really don't understand this. What I really don't understand is how to put these points on a graph.

Question 178482: The problem is this:
2. As you are leaving the community, you notice another new community just down the street. Because you are in the area, you decide to inquire about it.
a)The sales representative here tells you they also have two floor plans available, but they only have 38 homes available. Write an equation that illustrates the situation. Use x and y to denote floor plan #1 and floor plan #2 respectively. (( X + y = 38) is what i thought the equation would be)
b) The representative tells you that floor plan #1 sells for $175,000 and floor plan #2 sells for $200,000. She also mentions that all the available houses combined are worth $7,200,000. Write an equation that illustrates this situation. Use the same variables you used in part a.
((175,000x +200000y =72,000,000)is what i put for the equation)
c) Use elimination to determine how many houses with each floor plan are available. Explain how you arrived at your answer.
I have done this maybe 10 times. i keep coming up with x = 2576 but that does not make sense when i put that back into the orginal equation. Please Help! I have till 3 am est to turn it in. Thanks!
