Question 219622: Translate to an algebraic expression.
the product of 10% and some number.
here is what I got.
0.10y,is that right
and Solve. 4x - (3x + 3) =2 please explain step by step how you got the answer.
and find the slope, if it exists x= -8, m = ?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The phrase "the product of 10% and some number. " is strangely worded. Is is supposed to say "the product of 10% of some number and some other number. " ??? Or does it say "10 percent of some number"? If it says the latter, then you are correct.


=================================================================

# 2



4x-%283x%2B3%29=2 Start with the given equation.


4x-3x-3=2 Distribute.


x-3=2 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=2%2B3 Add 3 to both sides.


x=5 Combine like terms on the right side.


----------------------

Answer:

So the answer is x=5

# 3


Since the graph of x=-8 is a vertical line, the slope is undefined. Remember, all vertical lines have undefined slopes.
