Greetings!

"Use the distributive property for $-8 (x / 3)$ ."

The distribute property is used to simplify an expression/equation. This is done by multiplying the contents of the parenthesis by the number outside of bracket.

 $-8 (x / 3)$
$=(-8*x / -8*3)$
Simplify.
 $=(-8x/-24)$

Hope this helps.

-x=-y+2 and 3y+4=2x solve using matrices

MissTica

$\begin{cases}-x=-y+2\\3y+4=2x\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}x-y=-2\\2x-3y=4\end{cases}$

In matrix form, this is

$\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\2&-3\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-2\\4\end{bmatrix}$

The coefficient matrix has determinant

$\begin{vmatrix}1&-1\\2&-3\end{vmatrix}=-3+2=-1\neq0$

so it has an inverse, which is

$\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\2&-3\end{bmatrix}^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}3&-1\\2&-1\end{bmatrix}$

Multiply both sides by the inverse matrix:

$\begin{bmatrix}3&-1\\2&-1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\2&-3\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}3&-1\\2&-1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-2\\4\end{bmatrix}$
