4(x + 2) = 3(x − 2)

Mutiply the first bracket by 4

(4)(x)(4)(2)= 4x+8

Mutiply the second bracket by 3

(3)(x)(3)(-2)= 3x-6

4x+8= 3x-6

Move 3x to the other side

Sign changes from +3x to -3x

4x-3x+8= 3x-3x-6

4x-3x+8= -6

x+8= -6

Move +8 to the other side

Sign changes from +8 to -8

x+8-8= -6-8

x= -14

Answer: x= -14

This is a linear equation/ graph quiz ! please help , my teacher makes no sense to me!
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

(8,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2y = 30

coordinates are (x,y) so you plug in 8 for x and solve for y

5(8) - 2y = 30

40 - 2y = 30

subtract 40 from both sides to isolate y

-2y = -10

divide both sides by -2 to isolate y

y = 5

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y=2x+3 and passes through the point (-2,1)
Lerok [7]

Answer:

y= 2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is usually written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Parallel lines have the same gradient. Hence m=2.

Subst. m=2 into the equation:

y=2x +c

Now substitute a coordinate.

When x= -2, y=1,

1= 2(-2) +c

1= -4 +c

c= 1 +4

c=5

Thus, the equation of the line is y= 2x +5.
