You multiply everything in the parenthesis by the number outside.
In this case its 2 and -1. the first part is 2a-8 the second part is 4a -2a+16a
so it looks like this 2a-8=4a-2a+16a.
combine like terms and get 2a-8=18a.
Subtract the other 2a from the other side and you have 8=16a
divide each side by 16 and you have 8/16 which is one half.

This equation is invalid, the left and right sides are not equal, therefore there is no solution.

What is the equation of a line with a slope of −4 and a point (−2, 5) on the line? Express the equation in the form

Alja [10]

Answer:

y = - 4x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + b ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 4, thus

y = - 4x + b ← is the partial equation

To find b substitute (- 2, 5) into the partial equation

5 = 8 + b ⇒ b = 5 - 8 = - 3

y = - 4x - 3 ← equation of line

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

question 8 : it is equal to 0

Question 9 : 4+5 $\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

= $\sqrt{7} -\sqrt{28}\\2\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{4x7}\\2\sqrt{7} - 2\sqrt{7}\\0\\\sqrt{2} (5+\sqrt{8})\\5\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2*8}\\5\sqrt{2} + 4\\4 + 5\sqrt{2}$
