Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4 = 5x - 8
==> add 8 to both sides
in doing so we get 3x + 4 + 8 = 5x - 8 + 8
the -8 and the +8 cancels out and 4 + 8 = 12
we are left with 3x + 12 = 5x
==> subtract 3x from both sides
in doing so we get 3x - 3x + 12 = 5x - 3x
the 3x and -3x cancel out and 5x - 3x = 2x
we are left with 12 = 2x
==> divide both sides by 2
in doing so we get 12/2 which equals 6 and 2x/2x which leaves us with
6 = x
Y=3 because it is horizantal line that is between 0 and 6
Answer:
A; infinitely many solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
first, let's simplify the first equation to make it simpler.
divide both sides by 5
y=3x-8
new system
y=3x-8
y=3x-8
as you can see, they are the same.
not mandatory but useful!⬇⬇⬇⬇
just to be more clear, let's substitute them. since they're both already in y=, we can make them both set to each other.
3x-8=3x-8
add 8 to both sides; subtract 3x from one side
0=0
the answer is A, Infinitely many solutions.

4x-8=2x+14
subtract 2x on both sides and add 8 on both sides so x=11
