What was his mistake?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elan Coil [88]2 years ago
7 0

Circle the first line.

His mistake was: He substituted y from 2nd equation in 1st equation incorrectly. There is a minus sign before y and it wasn't taken into the account.

The correct steps are:

2x - y = 18

2x - (4x + 2) = 18

2x - 4x - 2 = 18

-2x - 2 = 18

-2x = 20

x = -10

y = 4x + 2

y = 4(-10) + 2

y = -40 + 2

y = -38

What Is the slope intersept of this equation Y-3=4(x+2)
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1) distribute 4 to (x+2). 4(x+2)= 4x+8

Step 2) add 3 to both sides. y-3+3= 4x+8+3

Step 3) simplify by solving for y. y=4x+11

*The slope is the coeficcient (or the number infront of x), so the slope is 4
