I think this is the way that the problem was given
Solve x−(−8)=2, for x=6
If so then plug (x=6)==> -6 -(-8)=2==> - 6 +8 =2, hence 2=2
Answer:
y= 1/2x-3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope intercept form of a line is
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = 1/2x+b
Using the point for x and y we can find b
-3 = 1/2(-3)+b
-3 = -3/2 +b
-6/2 = -3/2+b
Add 3/2 to each side
-6/2 +3/2 = b
-3/2 = b
y= 1/2x-3/2
1) 7/8-x-5/12=5/24
2) 11/24-x=24
3) -x=5/24-11/24
4) -x=-1/4
ANSWER: x=1/4
Divide the numbers
y= 8/10 + 22
y=4/5+22
add
y=4/5+22
y=114/5
