Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

2(x + 5) = 26

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute 2: 2x + 10 = 26

Subtract 10 on both sides: 2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2: x = 8

First we have to Distribute 2(x + 5)= 26
When Distributed: 2*x= 2x + 2*5=10
No we lets bring it down 2x+10=26
Now subtract the 10-10 and you get 0.
Subtract 26-10= 16
Now bring the equation down 2x=16
Then we divide both sides by 2 and that would give us 8 as the answer :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LHS a - b = -9 - (-6) = -9 +6 = -3

RHS b-a = -6 - (- 9) = -6 +9 = 3

as LHS not equal to RHS

a-b not equal to b-a

Thus proven

Answer:

$y = -2x +3\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\text{Slope: -2}\\\text{Y-Intercept: 3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We would have to convert the standard equation into slope-intercept form.

======================================

<h3>Converting the equation into Slope-Intercept Form:</h3>

$8x + 4y = 12\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\8x - 8x + 4y = 12-8x\\\\4y = 12-8x\\\\4y = -8x + 12 \leftarrow \text{I switched the order on the right side.}\\\\\frac{4y=-8x+12}{4}\\\\\boxed{y = -2x + 3}$
