Answer:

5x - 6 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We know that we don't know the actual number. We can use x to sub in for that number.

2. We also know that the equivalent eventually gets us to 8, so write:

  • x=8

3. The equation multiplies the number by 5, and then subtracts 6. It must be in this order because of PEMDAS. Write like so:

  • 5x- 6 = 8

You could solve it too, if you like:

  1. 5x = 8+6
  2. 5x = 14
  3. x = 14/5
  4. x= 2.8

Then feel free to check your answer, substituting 2.8 for x:

  1. 5(2.8) - 6 = 8
  2. 14 - 6 = 8
  3. 8 = 8

Hope that helped

2x+y/2=-1 in slope intercept form.
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

m=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to put the equation into y=mx+b form

which would be y=-2x-2

First you would divide 2x+y by 2 so that x+y/2=-1

subtract x on both sides y/2=-x-1

multiply 2 to get y=2(-x-1) simplify y=-2x-2

m=-2

Two lines, A and B, are represented by the following equations:
Zinaida [17]
There are different ways to find the solution. (You can find solutions for this equation, but the solutions aren’t infinitely)

Examples

3•2+3•2=12
2+2=4

Or

3•0+3•4=12
0+4=4

Or

3•1+3•3=12
1+3=4

The larger of two numbers is 8 more than four times the smaller. If the larger is increased by four times the smaller, the resul
olganol [36]
So let’s make the smaller number x and the larger one y....

Set up your equation by following the words signaling mathematical operations from the question.

y = 8 + 4x
y + 4x = 40

Now let’s bring all variables to one side and solve the system if equations with elimination...

y - 4x = 8
y + 4x = 40

Add the equations:

2y = 48
y = 24

Plug the y-value into one of the original equations:

24 = 8 + 4x
16 = 4x
4x = 16
x = 4

And there you have it! The smaller number [x] is 4 and the larger number [y] is 24.
