Can you help me solve this problem please? Solve 6n = 2n – 8.

First move the 2n over to the other side by subtracting it
so
4n=-8
then divide 4n by 4 and do the same to the other side
so
n= -8/4
n= -2

The coordinates below represent two linear equations.

vovikov84 [41]

First write the equations in the slope-intercept form:
$y=mx+b \\ \\
m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Line 1 passes through the points (-6,-6) and (-4,-3).
$m=\frac{-3-(-6)}{-4-(-6)}=\frac{-3+6}{-4+6}=\frac{3}{2} \\ \\
(-6,-6) \to x=-6, \ y=-6 \\
-6=\frac{3}{2} \times (-6) + b \\
-6=-9+b \\
b=3 \\ \\ y=\frac{3}{2}x+3$

Line 2 passes through the points (0,3) and (2,6).
$m=\frac{6-3}{2-0}=\frac{3}{2} \\ \\
(0,3) \to x=0, \ y=3 \\
3=\frac{3}{2} \times 0 + b \\
b=3 \\ \\
y=\frac{3}{2}x+3$

These are two identical lines so the system of equations has infinitely many solutions. The answer is D.
