Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To start with, we can solve for y in 4x + 2y = 6. We want to find the y so we can insert it into our second equation to find out what our x-variable is.

We are going to want to get y by itself, so we can subtract the positive 4x and move it onto the right side.

4x + 2y = 6

2y + 4x - 4x = 6 - 4x

2y = 6 - 4x

2y = -4x + 6

Now that we have this, we still want to get y by itself. Y has a coefficient in front of it, so we are going to want to get rid of that. Because y is being multiplied by 2, we can do the opposite and divide the entire equation by 2. The 2y would be divided by 2, the -4x would be divided by 2, and the 6 would be divided by 2.

This leaves us with: y = -2x + 3.

Now that we know what our y is equal to, we can insert this into our second equation of x - y = 3.

x - y = 3

Let's replace y with what we now know y is equivalent to: -2x + 3.

x - (-2x) + 3.

Subtracting a negative number is equivalent to addition, so we can turn that into an addition sign now:

x + 2x + 3

3x + 3 = 0

Remembering the question, we want to get the x variable alone because that is what we want to solve for. Let's do that now by moving the 3 onto the right side. Since we are adding it, we can subtract it to move it over. Like this:

3x + 3 = 0

3x + 3 - 3 = 0 - 3

3x = -3

Now, like we did in the beginning of this problem, we want the x alone, and because it is being multiplied by x, we can divide the entire problem by 3. -3 will get divided by 3 which will give us -1.

x = -1

Write an equation of a line in point slope form that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (3, -4).
Nesterboy [21]

1) Point-slope form

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)

m= - 3,

point (3,-4), so x1 = 3, y1 = - 4.

(y+4)= -3(x- 3)

2)Point-slope form

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)

m= - 3/4,

point (4,5), so x1 = 4, y1 = 5.

(y-5)= - 3/4(x-4)
