1. Problem 21: Given the equation $y = 3x - 2$, find $y$ when $x = 10$.
2. Substitute $x = 10$ into the equation:
$$y = 3(10) - 2$$
3. Calculate:
$$y = 30 - 2 = 28$$
4. Problem 22: Given $y = 3x - 2$, find $x$ when $y = 13$.
5. Substitute $y = 13$:
$$13 = 3x - 2$$
6. Add 2 to both sides:
$$13 + 2 = 3x$$
$$15 = 3x$$
7. Divide both sides by 3:
$$\frac{\cancel{15}}{\cancel{3}} = \frac{3x}{3}$$
$$5 = x$$
8. Problem 23: Sketch the line $y = 2$.
9. This is a horizontal line crossing the y-axis at 2. It runs parallel to the x-axis.
10. Problem 24: Solve $\frac{x}{5} = \frac{4}{3}$.
11. Cross multiply:
$$3x = 5 \times 4$$
$$3x = 20$$
12. Divide both sides by 3:
$$\frac{\cancel{3x}}{\cancel{3}} = \frac{20}{3}$$
$$x = \frac{20}{3}$$
13. Problem 25: Solve $-2 = \frac{3}{x}$.
14. Multiply both sides by $x$:
$$-2x = 3$$
15. Divide both sides by $-2$:
$$x = \frac{3}{-2} = -\frac{3}{2}$$
16. Problem 26: Solve $3x = 1 - \frac{x+5}{2}$.
17. Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the denominator:
$$2 \times 3x = 2 \times \left(1 - \frac{x+5}{2}\right)$$
$$6x = 2 - (x + 5)$$
18. Simplify the right side:
$$6x = 2 - x - 5$$
$$6x = -x - 3$$
19. Add $x$ to both sides:
$$6x + x = -3$$
$$7x = -3$$
20. Divide both sides by 7:
$$x = \frac{-3}{7}$$
