First distribute 3 to (x-4). that gives you 3x-12. Now your equation is x-2=3x-12. Now you subtract x from 3x. now you're equation is -2=2x-12. then add 12 to the left. You're final answer is 10.

X-2=3x-4. Solve for x by first subtracting x from the left side (you want to keep x positive if you can). You then have -2=2x-4. Subtract four to help get x by itself and you have -6=2x. Divide by 2 and your answer is -3=x.

Answer:

$(x + 3)(x - 2)(x - 1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{3} - 7x + 6$

Factor using Rational Root Theorem.

This means our possible roots are

positve or negative (1,2,3,6). If we try positve 1, it is indeed a root.

This means that

$(x - 1)$

is a root.

We can divide the top equation by the root (x-1). Our new equation is

$( {x}^{2} + x - 6)$

Now we can factor this completely

$(x + 3)(x - 2)$

So this equation in factored form is

$(x + 3)(x - 2)(x - 1)$

Answer:

Slope: $\frac{3}{5}$

Y-Intercept: $(0,-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To find the slope, we need to have the equation in slope-intercept form, which is $y=mx+b$ . In this case, our equation is already in this form. $m$ is what your slope is. In this case, our
