Answer:
-52, and the opposite of this is 52.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are losing 52 pounds, then our number is -52 since we are losing 52 pounds (adding a negative number to a positive number is the same as subtracting that number).
The opposite of a number is when we negate the number, or multiply it by -1.
A negative number times a negative number is a positive number.

Answer:
A. (1, -2)
B. the lines intersect at the solution point: (1, -2).
Step-by-step explanation:
A. The equations can be solve by substitution by using the y-expression provided by one of them to substitute for y in the other.
This gives ...
3x -5 = 6x -8
Adding 8-3x to both sides, we get ...
3 = 3x
Dividing both sides by 3 gives ...
1 = x
Substituting this value into the first equation, we can find y:
y = 3(1) -5 = -2
The solution is (x, y) = (1, -2).

B. The lines intersect at the solution point, the point that satisfies both equations simultaneously. That point is (1, -2).
You can go through the effort of determining the zero of the function analytically and evaluating an analytic expression for the derivative at that point, or you can let a graphing calculator do that heavy lifting. Since the numbers have to be "nice" for your equation to have the desired form, it is easy to know what to round to in the event that is necessary (it isn't).
We find the positive zero-crossing at x=2, and the slope of the curve at that point to be 8. Thus the line will have slope -1/8 and can be written as
.. x +8y -2 = 0
