Hey so theirs this thing it gets you a person and all you have to do is take a pic of your problem and they will help you thank me later :)
7. y=-3/2x+8 (3rd answer choice)
substitute
-4=-3/2(8)+b
-4=-24/2 +b
-4=-12+b
+12 both sides
8=b
so equation would be...
y=-3/2x+8 (3rd answer choice)
8. y=-5x-17 (2nd answer choice)
substitute
-2=-5(-3)+b
-2=15+b
-15 both sides
-17=b
so the equation would be...
y=-5x-17 (2nd answer choice)
check your work by substituting each (x,y) value into the final equations if you want. hope this helps :))
X = 3
2(4x - 3) - 8 = 4 + 2x
1. Distribute
8x - 6 - 8 = 4 + 2x
2. Collect like terms
8x - 14 = 4 + 2x
3. Collect like terms again (add 14 and subtract 2x)
6x = 18
4. Divide by 6
x = 3
