Explain how to find the x-intercept of the graph of y=-8x-12.

1 answer:

8 0

The x-intercept is when y=0, so we plug that in our equation,
$0=-8x-12$ . +12 on both sides to get $12=-8x$ . Divide by -8 to get $x=-1.5$

What is the best way to classify each equation? 22-3x+7x=4(x+5) ,6(2x-3=3(3-5), 6x-14=2(3x-7), 6x+3(x-4)=8(x-3)

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

1. 22 - 3x + 7x = 4(x + 5)
 22 - 3x + 7x = 4x + 20
 +3x +3x +3x 
 22 + 10x = 7x + 20
 -7x -7x 
 22 + 3x = 20
 -22 -22
 3x = -2
 3 3
 x = -2/3

2. 6(2x - 3) = 3(3 - 5)
 12x - 18 = 3(-2)
 12x - 18 = -6
 +18 +18
 12x = 12
 12 12
 x = 1

3. 6x - 14 = 2(3x - 7)
 6x - 14 = -3x
 6x - 14 = 2(-7)
 6x - 14 = -14
 +14 +14
 6x = 0
 6 6
 x = 0

4. 6x + 3(x - 4) = 8(x - 3)
 6x + 3x - 12 = 8x - 24
 9x - 12 = 8x - 24
 -8x -8x 
 x - 12 = -24
 +12 +12
 x = -12

qaws [65]

Ropes are 9.63 meters ans 8.178 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

List all the given things

Distance between people holding ropes = 40 =(40*0.3048) meters = 12.192 meters

Angle between two ropes = 86 degrees

Angle of elevation of one rope = 42 degrees

Step 2 :
