Pretend there is an invisible -1 in front of the parenthesis to distribute, then get rid of the parenthesis, then you can combine like terms.
= 5a - 1(8-a) +4a - 10       
         ^-----^                      <-- negative (-) times (x) a negative (-) equals positive = (+)
= 5a - 8 + a +4a - 10        
     ^---------^----^               <--Combine like terms      
= 5a +a +4a = 10a
= -8 -10       = -18
= 10a -18

Hope this helps!

Find thy slope of the line passing through the given point (2,0),(-6,8)
astraxan [27]

Answer:

slope = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, 8)

m = \frac{8-0}{-6-2} = \frac{8}{-8} = - 1

Give the slope of y + 2 = 3(x - 7) and a point on the line.
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The slope --> m = 3

A point from the line --> ( 0 , 23 )

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope you put the equation y+2=3(x-7) into Slope-Intercept Form (y=mx+b)

y+2=3(x-7) --> y+2=3x-21 --> y=3x-23

m is the slope and m=3

b is the y-intercept and b is 23

Hope this helps .-.
