Point slope is y-y1= m(x-x1) where m is slope
Plug the values in:
y-(-8)=3(x-8)
Simplify:
y+8=3(x-8)
4x+4y+4z. I was taught to take out what was in each term, in this problem that would be 4: 4(X+y+z). Meaning A) Annie did the problem right :) I hope this helps!
The equation is 138=300-3x
now solve by first subtracting 300 from each side: -162=-3x
divide each side by -3: x=54
