Answer: x=-6

Steps

distribute
2-3(x+4)=8

2-3x-12=8

Subtract the numbers
2-3x-12=8

-10-3x=8

Rearrange terms
-10-3x=8

-3x-10=8

Add ten to both sides
-3x-10=8

-3x-10+10=8+10

Simplify
(add the numbers)

-3x=18

Divide both sides by the same factor
-3x=10

(Write this part in a fraction)

-3x/-3 = 18/-3


Last step simplify

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

Divide the numbers

X=18/-3 (18 over -3 write it as a fraction)

So that leaves your answer to
X=-6

A system of linear equations includes the line that is created by the equation y = x+ 3, graphed below, and the line through the
ad-work [718]

Answer:

(8,11)

Step-by-step explanation:

1st line

y = x+ 3

We need to find the equation of the other line

We have two points (3, 1) and (4, 3)

Slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( 3-1)/(4-3)

   = 2/1 = 2

The slope intercept form is y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y =2x+b

Using the point (4,3)

3 = 2(4)+b

3 = 8+b

3-8=b

-5 =b

y = 2x-5

We have 2 lines

y =x+3 and y = 2x-5

Setting them equal to each other

x+3 = 2x-5

Subtract x from each side

x+3-x = 2x-5-x

3 = x-5

Add 5 to each side

3+5 =x-5+5

8=x

Now we can find y

y =x+3

y = 8+3

y=11

What is the simplified form of x 4/x^2-3x-10 times x-3/x^2 x-12?
Sever21 [200]
<span>Answer: (x + 4)/(x^2 - 3x - 10) * (x - 3)/(x^2 + x - 12) = (x - 3)(x + 4) / (x + 2)(x - 5)(x + 4)(x - 3) = 1/(x + 2)(x - 5)</span>
