To solve this problem, we have to manually
solve for the value of x for each choices or equations. The correct equation
will give a value of -1 since the linear equations intersects at point (-1,
-4).
<span>1st: 7x + 3 = x + 3</span>
7x – x = 3 – 3
6x = 0
<span>x = 0 (FALSE)</span>
<span>2nd: 7x − 3 = x – 3</span>
7x – x = 3 – 3
6x = 0
<span>x = 0 (FALSE)</span>
<span>3rd: 7x + 3 = x − 3</span>
7x – x = - 3 – 3
6x = -6
<span>x = -1 (TRUE)</span>
<span>4th: 7x − 3 = x + 3</span>
7x – x = 3 + 3
6x = 6
<span>x = 1 (FALSE)</span>
Therefore the answer is:
<span>7x + 3 = x − 3</span>

Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
You solve a linear equation by putting the variable on one side of the equal sign and a constant on the other side. Here, variables and constants are on both sides of the equal sign, so you need to separate them.
The basic idea is that you add the opposite of any term you don't want. Whenever you perform any operation (like "add"), <em>you must do it to both sides of the equation</em>.
We observe that x-terms have coefficients of 10 and 9. We choose to add the opposite of 9x to both sides:
10 -9x -5 = 9x -9x +2
x -5 = 2 . . . . simplify
Now, we still have -5 on the left, where we don't want it. So, we add its opposite (+5) to both sides:
x -5 +5 = 2 +5
x = 7 . . . . simplify
The solution is x = 7.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If we were to end up with an x-coefficient other than 1, we would divide both sides of the equation by that coefficient. This will leave the x-term with a coefficient of 1.
Answer:
A slope is a surface of which one end or side is at a higher level than another

The slope of the green line if the lines are perpendicular is -1/4
<h3>Perpendicular lines</h3>
For two lines two be perpendicular, the product of their slope must be -1. Let the slope of the red and green line be m1 and m2.
Given the following
Slope of red line = 4
According the definition
4m2 = -1
m2 = -1/4
Hence the slope of the green line if the lines are perpendicular is -1/4
