Equation: 4x + 7 = 3(2x - 5)

Step-by-step solution:

• Expand brackets

-> 4x + 7 = 6x - 15

• Move x variable to a side and the numbers to another

-> 4x - 6x = -15 - 7

• Solve

-> -2x = -22

• Multiply both sides by (-1)

-> -(-2x) = -(-22)
-> 2x = 22

• Divide both sides by 2

-> x = 22/2

-> x = 11

• Justification
-> Put x = 11 in original equation
-> 4(11) + 7 = 3( 2(11) - 5)
-> 44 + 7 = 3(22 - 5)
-> 51 = 3(17)
-> 51 = 51
-> 51 - 51 = 0
-> 0 = 0
Since both sides are equal to each other, the answer to the equation is correct.

I don't know Sam's equation so I'm not gonna answer that.

Find the point below that lies on the line y-7=4(x-2)
Phantasy [73]

Step-by-step explanation:

y-7=4(x-2)

we need to simplify the y to het a

y-7=4x-8 (i did 4x-8 because of 4(x-2)

now y= 4x-8+(-7)

after calculating -8+(-7) IT becomes

y=4x-15

okay we have the guide Line

y=4x-15

the a is 4

because

a = {y=a.x+b}

now we need to find the points using this guide Line

y=4x-15

x= 2(you can add any number here ,we Just need to know where the point is )

y= 4(2)-15

y=8-15

y= -7

points are (2,7)
