Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First u need to distribute the -1 to (x + 4), creating the equation, -8 = -x - 4. Then add the -4 to both sides, and you get, -4 = -x. Then divide by -1 to both sides, and x = 4.

-8=-(x+4)

Pretend that there is a -1 in front of the bracket.

Multiply the bracket by -1

(-1)(x)(-1)(4)

-8=-x-4

Move -4 to the other side. Sign changes from -4 to +4.

-8+4=-x-4+4

-4=-x

Multiply both sides by -1 to get +x.

-4(-1)=(-x)(-1)

x=4

Answer: x=4

Answer:

  (x, y) = (2/5, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute for y and solve for x.

  1 = -5x +3

  -2 = -5x . . . . . . subtract 3

  2/5 = x . . . . . . divide by -5

The solution is (x, y) = (2/5, 1).

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

look at the graph, it is really easy with such basic numbers involved :

the red dotted line is

y = 2

since the line is dotted (= the points on the line are not included in the solution), the colored area is below the line is

y < 2

the blue line is clearly just a 45° basic line through the origin (0,0), and that means for every point in that line x is equal to y.

y = x

and the line is solid, so the points are included in the solution. the shaded area is above the line, so, we need to use the ">" relation :

y >= x

the required solution is the combination of both, and therefore, B is correct.
