PLS ANSWER THE BELOW QUESTION AND I'LL MARK U AS BRAINLIST

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$a) \dfrac{3x}{2}-5=4$

Add 5 to both sides

$\dfrac{3x}{2}-5 +5 = 4 + 5\\\\\dfrac{3x}{2} = 9 \\\\Now \ multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ 2 \\\\\dfrac{3x}{2}*2 = 9*2\\\\3x = 18\\Now \ divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 3\\\\x =\dfrac{18}{3}\\\\$

x = 6

$b) \dfrac{x-3}{5} + 1 = -2\\\\\\Subtract \ 1 \ from \ both \ sides\\\\\dfrac{x-3}{5} = -2 -1\\\\\dfrac{x-3}{5} = -3\\\\Multiply \ both \ side \ by \ 5\\\\x - 3 = -3*5\\\\x -3 = -15\\\\$

Add 3 to both sides

x = -15 +3

x = -12

The y-intercept of g(x) in g(x) = 3x - 2 is (0,-2) (0,0) (2/3,0)

Dennis_Churaev [7]

For any y-intercept, the x-coordinate is zero. This is something to bear in mind to start with.

Now to find the y-intercept, find g(0) = -2.

Therefore the answer is (0,-2)
