Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
combine like terms (so 1/2 and 3/2): 2 - x = x - 4
add x to both sides: 2 = 2x - 4
add 4 to both sides: 6 = 2x
divide both sides by 2: 3 = x
First, multiply by the reciprocal and continue.
<span>point slope equation form
(y - y1) = m (x - x1)
in this case, using </span><span>points (-5, -4)
</span><span>so
y + 4 = 3/8(x + 5)

No they are not equivalent
