To solve for x, the first thing to do is to distribute the 4 to (x-2). When you do this, you should get 4x-8=4x+10
Then, subtract 4x from both sides and then you are left with -8=10. Because -8 is not equal to 10, meaning the equation you are left with is not a true statement, the answer to this would be that there are no real solutions.
If you want it to be y=mx+b form then the equations should look like this: y=x+5 and y=-1/3x+1.

Answer: $(d-3c)
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount Tina had = $d
Cost of cupcakes = $c
Number of cupcakes purchased = 3
Therefore,
Total cost of cupcakes = cost per cupcake × number of cupcakes
Total cost of cupcakes = $c × 3 = $3c
Amount left after cupcake purchase:
Total amount Tina had - total cost of cupcakes :
$d - $3c
No it does not make either too
