Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4x +2= -5/8x - 5
Add 5/8x to each side
1/4x +5/8x +2= -5/8x+5/8x - 5
1/4x+5/8x +2= - 5
Subtract 2 from each side
1/4x+5/8x +2-2= - 5-2
1/4x+5/8x = - 7
Get a common denominator
1/4 *2/2 x + 5/8x = -7
2/8x + 5/8x = -7
7/8x = -7
Multiply each side by 8/7
8/7x * 7/8x = -7 *8/7
x = -8
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Its A you just have to count the lines and say the numbers 1-4
Easiest way is if you substitute each point (x,y) into each set of equations and both points work for both equations in the system of equations, then it is the correct answer
Otherwise substitute one equation for y in the other equation:
2x + 6 = x^2 + 5x + 6
-2x - 6. -2x -6
0 = x^2 + 3x. Factor
0 = x (x + 3)
Solve: x = 0. x + 3 = 0. ——> x = -3. Substitute into one original equation to get y value for
y = 2x + 6.
y = 2(0) + 6. y = 2(-3) + 6
y = 6. y = -6 + 6 —-> y = 0
(0 , 6) And. (-3 , 0)
