$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{a}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{3}-\stackrel{y1}{(-1)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{a}-\underset{x_1}{0}}}~~=~~\stackrel{\stackrel{slope}{\downarrow }}{1}\implies \cfrac{3+1}{a}=1\implies 4=a$

3x + 2(4x - 4) = 3<br> What’s the answer?

Darya [45]

3x+2(4x-4)=3 - remove parentheses
3x+ 8x-8=3 - collect like terms
11x- 8 =3 - move the constant to the right
11x=3+8 - calculate
11x = 11 - divide both sides by 11
x= 1

Which statement is true about judy's method?

aniked [119]

A. Judy made a mistake between Steps 1 and 2
To factor $x^{2} - 16$ , you have to factor it as $(x-2)(x+2)(x-4)$ , not $(x-2)(x+8)$ , because that will leave an extra 6x because of 8x - 2x.
