Answer:
u = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the slope intercept formula:
Substitute our values from the points and the known slope:
Now we multiply both sides by (8 - u) to isolate the x:
(8-u) x = -7 (8 - u)
Next we add 56 to both sides:
-7 = -56 + 7u
Finish off by dividing both sides by 7:
7u = 49
u = 7
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
This implies
x+2=4
and
-(x+2)=-4.
x+2=4 implies x=2 since subtract 2 on both sides gives us x=2.
Solving -(x+2)=-4 should give us the same value.
Multiply both sides by -1:
x+2=4
It is the same equation as the other.
You will get x=2 either way.
Let's check:
Put both sides into your calculator and see if you get the same thing on both sides:
Left hand side gives 256/81.
Right hand side gives 256/81.
Both side are indeed the same for x=2.
