Find the value of x in the solution to the system of equations shown.

To solve this system of equations, the easiest method to use is substitution. Both of our equations are already in terms of y (set equal to y), so we can substitute in the equivalent x values to create an equation with only one variable.


y = 14x - 6

y = -4x + 48


-4x + 48 = 14x - 6


To simplify, we are going to add 4x and add 6 to both sides of the equation to get all of the constant terms on one side of the equation and all of the variable terms on the other. We are also going to simplify by combining like terms.


-4x + 4x + 48 + 6 = 14x + 4x - 6 + 6

48 + 6 = 14x + 4x

54 = 18x


Finally, we must divide both sides of the equation by 18 because division is the inverse operation of multiplication, which allows us to cancel out the coefficient of 18.


54/18 = 18x/18

3 = x


Therefore, your answer is B. x = 3.


Hope this helps!

Please help quick!!! <br><br> Reflect over the y axis then translate

The composition of transformation that maps ABCD to EHGF is reflect over the y-axis, then translate (x - 1, y + 1)

<h3>What is transformation?</h3>

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformations are<em> reflection, rotation, translation and dilation.</em>

Translation is the movement of a point either <em>up, left, right or down</em> in the coordinate plane.

The composition of transformation that maps ABCD to EHGF is reflect over the y-axis, then translate (x - 1, y + 1)

Which equation models a line that passes through point (-2,2) And has a slope of -8
trasher [3.6K]

So we will be using y=mx+b form, in which m = slope and b = y-intercept. Since we know the slope (-8), all we need to do is solve for the y-intercept. We can do this by inserting (-2,2) into the equation and solve for b.


2=-8(-2)+b


Firstly, do the multiplication: 2=16+b


Next, subtract 16 on both sides, and your answer will be -14 = b



Using the previous info we have, our equation is y = -8x - 14
