Answer: x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
first subtract 3x from both sides
then your equation will be 8x-7=9 then you will add 7 to both sides getting 8x=16 then divide both sides by 8 and x=2
The formula of linear equation is:

Where
x1 and x2: x coordinates(-1 and 3)
y1 and y2: y coordinates(-2 and 10)
m is the slope
We can then choose a point from the line to find the eqaution.
We need to first find the slope:

In this case:

In this case, as the y2 is given as 1,put (-1,-2) , and the slope(3 )into the eqaution :
y-(-2) = 3(x-(-1))
y+2 = 3(x+1)
Therefore

is the answer.
Hope it helps!
Answer:
2 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Larger number = y
Smaller number = x
---------------------------------
y = 2x+4
y - x = 6 -> y= x+6
---------------------------------------
x + 6 = 2x + 4
2 = x
y = x+ 6
y = 2 + 6
y = 8
Hope this makes sense!!!!
Perpendicular = opposite sign and reciprocal slope
Make equation into y = mx + b
Add 3y to both sides
3y + 54 = 3x
Subtract 54
3y = 3x - 54
Divide by 3
y = x - 18
The slope is 1
Make it negative and reciprocal
= -1/1 = -1
Solution: the slope will be -1
