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

A line intersects the points(-22,-14) and (-18,-12). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

zaharov [31]

Hello there,

Well we are going to start off with the equation to find the slope based on the given points:

$\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

Now using the two given points we are going to plug in and solve:

$\frac{(-12)-(-14)}{(-18)-(-22)}$ = $\frac{2}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

From this you know that $\frac{1}{2}$ is the slope of the equation. However, to find the y-intercept we are going to use y = mx+ b and plug in one of the points to solve:

(-14) = $\frac{1}{2}$ (-22) + b

(-14) = (-11) + b

-3 = b

That means that the y-intercept is at (0, -3). Lastly, we are just going to plug all this into the slope-intercept form:

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ - 3

Hope I helped,

N is an integer chosen at random from the set {5, 7, 9, 11 } p is chosen at random from the set {2, 6, 10, 14, 18} What is the p

belka [17]

Answer: A) 0.1

Explanation:
<span>Each of the integers in the first set could be combined with any from the second set, giving a total of 4 x 5 = 20 possible pairs.Of these the combinations that could give a sum of 23 are (5 + 18), and (9 + 14)<span>This means that the probability of getting a sum of 23 is 2/20 = 1/10</span></span>
