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.

Em 1 Graph the system of equations. { x−y=6 ,4x+y=4

muminat

Graphing the system of equations is shown in figure attached.

Solution set is (2,-4). The lines will intersect at (2,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to graph the system of equations. $x-y=6 ,4x+y=4$

First we will find value of x and y

Let:

$x-y=6\,\,eq(1)\\4x+y=4\,\,eq(2)$

Add eq(1) and eq(2)

$x-y=6\,\,\\4x+y=4\,\,\\------\\5x=10\\x=10/5\\x=2$

Putting value of x in eq(1) and finding y

$x-y=6\\2-y=6\\-y=6-2\\-y=4\\y=-4$

So, y=-4

Solution set is (2,-4). The lines will intersect at (2,-4)
