To solve for X you need to simplify both sides on the equation 
<span><span><span>23</span><span>(<span><span>4x</span>−5</span>)</span></span>=8

</span><span><span><span><span>(<span>23</span>)</span><span>(<span>4x</span>)</span></span>+<span><span>(<span>23</span>)</span><span>(<span>−5</span>)</span></span></span>=8 *</span>Distribute*

<span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>+<span><span>−10/</span>3</span></span>=<span>8

after that you add 10/3 on both sides 

</span></span><span><span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>+<span><span>−10/</span>3</span></span>+10/3</span>=<span>8+10/3</span></span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>=<span>34/<span>3

finally multiply 3/8 on both sides 
</span></span></span><span><span>(<span>3/8</span>) x </span><span>(<span><span>8/3</span>x</span>)</span></span>=<span><span>(<span>3/8</span>) x </span><span>(<span>34/3</span><span>)

and your answer should be 
X= 17/4
</span></span></span>

Solve the following system of equations. Express your answer as an ordered pair in the format (a,b), with no spaces between the
Contact [7]
Solve it by substitution. First let's rewrite the first equation (3x+4y=16) so we have y = something, then we'll substitue that in to the other equation.
3x+4y=16
4y=-3x+16
y=-3/4x+4

Now we can substitute this into the other equation.

Type the equation for the graphbelow.Pi/3 2piy = [?] sin([ ]x)
Pie

To find the equation of the graph, what we do is to recognize some characteristics of a sine function:

- Amplitude: The amplitude of the sine function is the distance from the middle value or line running through the graph up to the highest point. In this case, the amplitude is 1.

- Period: The period of a sine function is defined as the length of one complete sine wave or one complete cycle of the curve. It can be found using the equation: P=2pi/B.

Why are these characteristics important?

Because the sine function has the following general form:

In this problem, we have A=1 and we know that the period equals 2pi/3. So,

Therefore, the equation of the graph is:

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a₂ = 9
