Answer:

(-1,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

1 = (2-3)/(-2-x)

Multiply each side by (-2-x)

(-2-x) = -1

Multiply by -1

2+x = 1

Subtract 2 from each side

2+x-2 = 1-2

x = -1

4. Solve the following system of equations for x.

Ber [7]

We are given the system of equations -:

$\large{ \begin{cases} 2x + 3y = - 14 \\ y = 6x + 22 \end{cases}}$

Since the second equation is y-isolated equation. It can be substituted as y = 6x+22 in the first equation.

$\large{2x + 3(6x + 22) = - 14}$

Expand 3 in the expression so we can combine like terms and isolate x-variable.

$\large{2x + 18x + 66 = - 14}$

Then combine like terms.

$\large{20x + 66 = - 14}$

Get rid of 66 from the left side by subtracting both sides by itself.

$\large{20x + 66 - 66 = - 14 - 66} \\ \large{20x = - 80}$

To finally isolate the variable, divide both sides by 20 so we can leave x only on the left side.

$\large{ \frac{20x}{20} = \frac{ - 80}{20} }$

Simplify to the simplest form.

$\large{x = - 4}$

Normally, we have to find the y-value too but since we only find x-value. The answer is x = -4.

Answer

x = -4

Factor completely 2x^2 − 2x − 40.

zubka84 [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

$= 2 {x}^{2} - 2x - 40$

Solve it by using mid-term factorization.

$= 2 {x}^{2} - 2x - 40$

$= 2 {x}^{2} - (10 - 8)x - 40$

$= 2 {x}^{2} - 10x + 8x - 40$

Take common and simplify them to get answer.

$2x(x - 5) + 8(x - 5)$

$= (2x + 8)(x - 5)$

$= 2(x + 4)(x - 5)$

Therefore the answer is option D.

Hope it helps..
