Aleks [24]3 years ago
7 0

set it equal to 0

(-3+5)-(6x-8)=0

2-6x+8=0

isolate x

-6x=-2-8

-6x=-10

cancel negatives

6x=10

divide by 6

x= 10/6

reduce:

x = 5/3

Answer:

10 -6x

Step-by-step explanation:

We cannot solve since there is no equal sign, we can only simplify

(-3 + 5) - (6x - 8)

Combine the like terms in parentheses

(2) - (6x - 8)

Distribute the minus sign

2 -6x --8

2 -6x +8

Combine like terms

2+8 -6x

10 -6x

Mike wants to put a 3 1/2 ft. table against a 13 ft. wall. If he centers the table, how far will it be from each end of the wall
podryga [215]
First make an equation representing this.

Y= total length
X= the distance from each wall

13 = 2x + 3.5

13 = 2x + 3.5

subtract 3.5 from each side

9.5 = 2x

Divide 2 from each side

X = 4.75 ft

-1/2(x+4)=y-2<br><br> 2x-y=4<br><br> Find the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept for both equations
alina1380 [7]

The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have -1/2(x + 4) = y - 2      <em>use distributive property</em>

(-1/2)(x) + (-1/2)(4) = y - 2

-1/2 x - 2 = y - 2       <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

-1/2 x = y → y = -1/2 x + 0

slope: m = -1/2

y-intercept: b = 0

x-intercept for y = 0. Substitute:

-1/2 x = 0         <em>multiply both sides by -2</em>

x = 0

<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>slope = -1/2</h3><h3>y-intercept = 0</h3><h3>x-intercept = 0</h3>

--------------------------------------------------------------------

2x - y = 4      <em>sutract 2x from both sides</em>

-y = -2x + 4      <em>change the signs</em>

y = -2x + 4

slope: m = -2

y-intercept: b = 4

x-intercept for y = 0. Substitute:

-2x + 4 = 0       <em>subtract 4 from both sides</em>

-2x = -4       <em>divide both sides by -2</em>

x = 2

<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>slope = -2</h3><h3>y-intercept = 4</h3><h3>x-intercept = 2</h3>
