Solve for x:  <span>8x-5=-3(3-2x)

1.  Carry out the indicated multiplication:  8x - 5 = - 9 + 6x
2.  Combine like terms:  2x = -4
3.  Solve this final equation for x:     x = -2         (answer)

The first step would be to simplify both sides of the equal sign as much as possible. 
8x - 5 = -3(3 - 2x)
8x - 5 = -9 - (-6x)
8x - 5 = -9 + 6x

Next, you would need to combine like terms on both sides of the equal sign to one on one side of the equal sign and one on the other. 
8x - 5 = -9 + 6x
2x - 5 = -9
2x = -4

Now, all you have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 2. 
2x = -4
x = -2

I hope this helps!

Which line(s) intersect the parabola y = x^2 − 3x + 4 at two points? Select all that apply. A. y = –3x + 2 B. y = –3x + 3 C. y =
TEA [102]

Answer:

C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Equating the line A and the parabola, we get

-3x + 2 = x² - 3x + 4

0 = x² - 3x + 4 +3x - 2

0 = x² + 2

-2 = x²

which has no real solutions. Then, the line A and the parabola don't intersect each other.

Equating the line B and the parabola, we get

-3x + 3 = x² - 3x + 4

0 = x² - 3x + 4 + 3x - 3

0 = x² + 1

-1 = x²

which has no real solutions. Then, the line B and the parabola don't intersect each other.

Equating the line C and the parabola, we get

-3x + 5 = x² - 3x + 4

0 = x² - 3x + 4  + 3x - 5

0 = x² - 1

1 = x²

√1 = x

which has 2 solutions, x = 1 and x = -1. Then, the line C and the parabola intersect each other.

Equating the line D and the parabola, we get

-3x + 6 = x² - 3x + 4

0 = x² - 3x + 4  + 3x - 6

0 = x² - 2

2 = x²

√2 = x

which has 2 solutions, x ≈ 1.41 and x ≈ -1.41. Then, the line D and the parabola intersect each other.
