Isolate x by adding 8 to both sides.
3 = x/3
Then, multiply by 3 on both sides.
9 = x
To prove that this is right, you can imput 9 into the equation and it equals -5.
Yes because you multiply first so in this case you multiply 7 and 3 first. Since the second expression is in parenthesis you do that first just like you do 7 times 3. Then you just add 2 to that. The value of both expressions is 23
1/2 y=mx+b y=1/2x+2 this is the slope of the graph. the slope intercept form is y=mx+b
