Zanzabum4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

<h2>x = -3 or x = 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+5x-4=3x-1\qquad\text{subtract}\ 3x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\x^2+5x-3x-4=3x-3x-1\\\\x^2+2x-4=-1\qquad\text{add 1 to both sides}\\\\x^2+2x-4+1=-1+1\\\\x^2+2x-3=0\\\\x^2+3x-x-3=0\\\\x(x+3)-1(x+3)=0\\\\(x+3)(x-1)=0\iff x+3=0\ \vee\ x-1=0\\\\x+3=0\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\x+3-3=0-3\\\boxed{x=-3}\\\\x-1=0\qquad\text{add 1 to both sides}\\x-1+1=0+1\\\boxed{x=1}

Find the equation of a line that is parallel to the line y = -4× and contains the point (8,-3)
astra-53 [7]
(Note: this is hard to explain without graphing. You might want to graph both of these lines just to make sure I did this correctly. :))

Y = -4(x) is the y = mx + b where m = slope and b = the y intercept.

So the slope of line A is -4 / 1 and the y intercept is 0. (If it's 0 there is no point in writing it down, so it was left out of the equation.)


The slope of line B with be equal to the slope of line A, so we can fill that in our equation. y = -4 x + ??

We know that y increases as x decreases.

Now we just need to scale 8, -3 down until x = 0.
 (8 - 4, -3 + 1) = (4, -2) 

(4 - 4, -2 + 1) = (0, -1)

y = -4x -1 is your final answer. Hope that helps! :)
