No 1 is not your answer, -1 would be your answer.

To show my work, here.

1. Expand (<span>6x −6= 4x − <span>8)
2. </span></span>Subtract <span>4x</span> from both sides (<span>6x−6−4x=−<span>8)
3. simplify 6x - 6 - 4x to 2x - 6 ( 2x - 6 = -8)
4. Add 6 to both sides ( 2x = -8 + 6)
5. simplify -8 + 6 to -2 (2x = -2)
6. divide both sides by 2 (x = -1)</span></span>

7x + 2y =10<br> -7x+y=-16 <br> Using elimination method
tatiyna
First, I would write the problem vertically because it just helps me better.

7x+2y=10
-7x+1y=-16  

Then, I would add downwards.

    7x+2y=10
+ -7x+1y=-16
-------------------
    0x+3y=-6

Now, divide 3 from both sides.

3y=-6
---  ---
3     3

y=-2 

Now, plug in -2 for y in any equation to get x.

7x+2(-2)=10

Combine like terms

7x-4=10

Add 4 to both sides

7x-4=10
   +4  +4
-------------
7x=14

Divide each side by 7.

7x=14
----  ---
7    7

x=2 

So your solution is
(2,-2)

To check the solution, plug in the x and y values in both equations.

7(2)+2(-2)=10
14-4=10
10=10 

-7(2)-2=(-16)
-14-2=-16
-16=-16 

Therefore, the solution works.
<u>You must always plug in the x and y values into both equations to check the solution because sometimes the solution will work for one and not the other.</u>
The solution must work to both equations in other for it to be right.

The equation y-4=-3(x+4) is written in point-slope form. What is the y-intercept of the line? *
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to rewrite it in y=mx+b form where b-is the y-intercept

y-4= -3(x+4)

distribute

y-4 = -3x-12

isolate y

y= -3x-8

compare this with the y=mx+b so y-intercept is -8
