Given the equation: (km / 3) - 2x = 4, it is essential to isolate x to obtain the expression to solve it. This is done below:
(km / 3<span>) - 2x = 4
</span>
Adding 2x to both sides:
(km / 3<span>) - 2x + 2x = 4 + 2x
</span>(km / 3<span>) = 4 + 2x
</span>
Subtracting 4 from both sides:
(km / 3<span>) - 4 = 4 + 2x - 4
</span>(km / 3<span>) - 4 = 2x
</span>
Dividing 2 from both sides:
[(km / 3<span>) - 4] /2 = 2x /2
</span>[(km / 3<span>) - 4] /2 = x
</span>x = (km / 6) - 2
Yep they do, because if you plug in y for both equations, you get x=0. To find y, plug in 0 for either equation to get -7. (0,-7) should work for both equations since the intersection point is the point where both equations meet.
