Looks like all you have to do it multiply the numbers together; there is no application of the Distributive Property to these problems.
4(x+2)=3(x-2)
Multiply the first bracket by 4
Multiply the second bracket by 3
4x+8=3x-6
Move 3x to the left hand side, whenever moving a number with a letter the sign changes ( positive 3x to negative 3x)
4x-3x+8=3x-3x-6
x+8=-6
Move positive 8 to the right hand side
x+8-8=-6-8
x=-14
Check answer by using substitution method
Use x=-14 into both of the equations
4(-14+2)=3(-14-2)
-56+8=-42-6
-48=-48
Answer is -14- D)
is there a picture i can use to help out?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step will be to make y the subject of the formula, by multiplying both sides of the equation by -1.
y = x - 1
This is simply the equation of a line with a slope of 1 and y-intercept (0,-1)
To determine the three points that solve the equation, we can let x be;
0, 1, 2
When x =0, y = 0-1 = -1
When x = 1, y = 1-1 = 0
When x = 2, y = 2 - 1 = 1
Therefore, we have the following three sets of points that can be used to graph the given linear equation;
(0, -1)
(1, 0)
(2, 1)
