After solving the given equation, you will find out that x= -7

Step-by-step explanation:

From my understanding, the unknown value of x has to be calculated in this equation

<em>1. Bracket open</em>

-2(-4x - 2) - 5x + 5 = -12

8x + 4 -5x + 5 = -12

<em>2. Take all variables at the left side and all numbers at the right side</em>

8x - 5x = -12-4-5

<em>3. Make x the subject</em>

3x = -21

x = \frac{-21}{3}

<em>4. Solve to find x</em>

x = -7

Therefore, the value of x is -7

The y-intercept in the linear equation −2y−4x−6=0 is _[blank]_. will give brainliest
Ronch [10]

Answer:

-3 is the value of the location where the line crosses the y-axis,and is commonly referred in the slope-intercept form of a line "the intercept". Now it may be your teacher expects you to answer this as the point on the plane where the y-intercept occurs, and that should be the point (0, -3). Make sure you follow your teacher's notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Re-write the equation given in slope=intercept form by isolating the variable "y" on one side of the equation and expressing the rest in slope*x + y-intercet form:

-2y-4x-6=0\\-4x-6=2y\\y=-2x-3\\

which tells us that the slope of the line is -2 and it y-intercept is "-3".

Now, watch out because you may be asked to write the actual coordinates of the y-intercept, which are: (0, -3)

giving the x-coordinate 0 and the y-value where the line crosses the y-axis.
