Solve for x 5x+5x+3=4(2x+1)-2

6 0

We need to add like terms and distribute before we try to isolate X.
10x+3=8x+4-2
10x+3=8x+2

Now let's isolate x. We should start with subtracting 8x from both sides.
2x+3=2
Now, let's subtract 3 from both sides.
2x=-1
Now divide each side by 2.
X=-0.5
We now know x is -0.5, so let's check.
5(-0.5)+5(-0.5)+3=4[2(-0.5)+1]-2
-2.5-2.5+3=4(0)-2
-5+3=0-2
-2=-2

So, X= -0.5

$(-1,-2) \: \: \: \: \: and \: \: \: \: \: (3,6) \\ Answer: A$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = 2x \\ y = {x}^{2} - 3 \\ \\ 2x = {x}^{2} - 3 \\ {x}^{2} - 2x - 3 = 0 \\ (x + 1)(x - 3) = 0 \\ x + 1 = 0 \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: \: x - 3 = 0 \\ x = - 1 \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: \: x = 3$

When x = -1

Substitute x = -1 into y = 2x

y = 2(-1)

y = -2

( -1, -2)

When x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into y = 2x

y = 2(3)

y = 6

( 3, 6)

Answer:

Please see the graph below

Step-by-step explanation:

The table is just selecting numbers for x and then solving for what y would be. Once we have the ordered pairs (x,y) We can graph the points and see the line.
