Start by expanding the left side of the equation: -2(4x-7) is equal to -8x + 14.
This brings you to -8x+14 = -8x + 14.
Now add 8x to both sides. This brings you to 14 = 14
Now subtract 14 from both sides. This brings you to 0 = 0.
Thus your answer is 0 = 0, which is a true statement.
Hope this helps.
Adding both equations
2x=4k
x=2k
y=k
so (2k,k)
= 2a - 1
2(
) = 2(2a - 1) <em>multiplied both sides by 2 </em>
ab = 4a - 2 <em>distributed the 2 on the right side</em>
ab - 4a = -2 <em>subtracted 4a from both sides</em>
a(b - 4) = -2 factored out "a" from the left side
a =
<em>divided (b - 4) on both sides</em>
Answer: a =
Answer: 1st box- subtracting 8 from both sides
2nd box- -8
