Follow PEMDAS.
You would first do your distributive property which is, -5(z+2). You would multiply -5 to z and -5 to 2 which will give you -5z + -10.
so now you have 2z-5z+ -10= -8 - 2z. Now you must isolate the variable. So subtract -8 to -10 which will give you -18.
Now you have the equation 2z-5z-18=-2z
Now combine like terms. 2z-5z= -3z
Now you have the equation -3z-18=-2z
Now you must move the -3z to the other side of the equal sign by adding the opposite which is +3z to -2z which will give you +1z
Now you have -18= 1z
Now you divide. -18 divided by 1 is -18.
So your final answer will be -18=z
The input is the x-coordinate and the output is the y-coordinate. If the input is 4, plug 4 into the x variable to find the output, y.
y=3(4)-5
y=12-5
y=7
The output is 7.
True. If they never intersect then they must have the same slope and are parallel
