Your trying to isolate the x and the number without x, so after taking 2x from the left side subtract it from 5x and then subtract the three from both sides as well. your answer is the next step is the 3

2x - 8 = 5x + 3
-2x    -2x
-8 = 3x + 3
-3    -3
-11 = 3x
/3    /3
-3.6666666667 = x

Knowing this, we can conclude that subtracting 3 is your answer.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,8) and has a slope of -1/4

iragen [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When a slope of a line and a point passing through it is given then we use slope - one point form to determine the equation of the line.

It is given by:

$(y - y_1) = m (x - x_1)$

where $m$ is the slope of the line and

$(x_1, y_1)$ is the point passing through it.

Here, $m = \frac{-1}{4}$ and $(x_1,y_1) = (-4,8)$

Substituting in the equation:

$y - 8 = \frac{-1}{4} (x + 4)$

$\implies 4y - 32 = -x - 4$

$\implies x + 4y - 28 = 0$
