-5(4x-2)=-2(3+6x)
First use the distributive property on-5(4x-2) and -2(3+6x)
-5(4x-2)=-2(3+6x)
-20x + 10 = -6 - 12x
Now combine like terms
-20x + 10 = -6 - 12x
-20x + 12x = -6 - 10
Now finish simplifying
-20x + 12x = -6 - 10
-8x = -16
-8x / -8 = -16 / -8
x = 2

Answer:

y=x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph y=x-5 and the point (1,-2). You want your slope to be the same for the lines to be parallel. The slope in the given equation is 1/1. Type into a graphing calculator y=x- and pick a number greater than negative five since the point (1,-2) is above the given line. Guess and checking reveals -3 to be the correct answer. Therefore, your answer is y=x-3.

Yakvenalex [24]

$6x^2+2x-9=0\\\\a=6;\ b=2;\ c=-9\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\to\Delta=2^2-4\cdot6\cdot(-9)=220\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a};\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-2-\sqrt{220}}{2\cdot6}=\dfrac{-2-\sqrt{220}}{12}\approx-1.4\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-2+\sqrt{220}}{2\cdot6}=\dfrac{-2+\sqrt{220}}{12}\approx1.1$

Answer: B. 1.1; -1.4.
