Both sides of the equation are not equal, therefore, Massa was wrong.

<h3>How to Evaluate an Equation?</h3>

For an equation to be correct, the values on both sides of the equation must be equal and balance.

Given the expression, 540 ÷ 6 = 9, 540 divided by 6 is 90. 90 is not equal to 9.

Thus, the value on the both sides are not balanced, therefore, Massa is incorrect.

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question is incomplete, as the equations or graph or table(s) were not given.

However, I'll give a general way of solving this.

Take for instance, the equations are:

$y = \frac{4}{3}x - 1$

$y = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{2}$

To do this, we start by equating both equations.

$y = y$

i.e.

$\frac{4}{3}x - 1= \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{2}$

Collect Like Terms

$\frac{4}{3}x - \frac{2}{3}x= 1 - \frac{1}{2}$

Take LCM

$\frac{4x- 2x}{3}= \frac{2 - 1}{2}$

$\frac{2x}{3}= \frac{1}{2}$

Cross Multiply

$2x * 2 = 3 * 1$

$4x = 3$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{3}{4}$

Substitute 3/4 for x in $y = \frac{4}{3}x - 1$

$y = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{3}{4} - 1$

$y = 1 - 1$

$y = 0$

Hence:

$(x,y) = (\frac{3}{4},0)$

-2(x + 2) = -2x ++ 5x -1

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

-⅗ = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is what you get when you distribute the -2 on the left side of the equivalence symbol and combine like-terms on the right side of the equivalence symbol:

-2x - 4 = 3x - 1

Here is the solution:

-2x - 4 = 3x - 1

-3x -3x

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

-5x - 4 = -1

4 +4

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

-5x = 3

----- -----

-5 -5

x = -⅗
