Answer:

C. 6x - 4y

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference means subtract

8x-5y - (2x-y)

Distribute the minus sign

8x-5y - 2x+y

Combine like terms

6x-4y

What is the solution of the equation? 4(y + 2) =32

Hey there!
For the left side, we are going to use the distributive property, which means:
a(b+c) = ab+ac
Therefore, we have:

4y + 8 = 32

Subtract 8 from both sides.

4y = 24

Divide both sides by 4 to get:

y = 6

I hope this helped you! :)

Answer:

-3 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope of the line you use the equation (y2 - 1) / (x2 - x1)

when plugged in you get

(5 + 3) / (-2 1/4 - 1/4)

then you do what is inside the parenthesis

8 / -2 1/2

8 / -2.5

lastly you divide

you get -3 1/5

that is your answer
