1: -5 = 3m + c
2: -2 = 0 + c
From equation 2, we knew c = -2
So we sub into equation 1 and got the value of m
-5 = 3m - 2
m = -1
The equation of line is y = -x - 2
a = 2x + 6xz
a = x(2 + 6z) <em>factored out "x" on right side</em>
a/(2 + 6z) = x <em>divided both sides by (2 + 6z)</em>
Answer: x = 
If you simplify it is x^3-x^2-2x+ 24
