Answer:
See picture attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with the y-intercept of -2 and plot that on the graph. Then, use the slope of 1/2x to plot more points to help you draw the line. Remember rise over run. Go up one from the y-intercept and right two. If you need to, you can also go down one and left two.
Hope this makes sense.
There is actually 2 ways to solve this, I will show you both.
The first is obvious, solve for x in the first one, and plug it into the 2nd one and get the answer
4x + 7 = 12
4x = 5
x =
8() + 3
2 * 5 + 3
10 + 3
13
The 2nd option is to manipulate the 4x + 7 to be 8x + 3
4x + 7 = 12
start by moving the 7 over
4x = 5
multiply both sides by 2
8x = 10
and add 3 to both sides
8x + 3 = 13
Remember the distance formula
