Hello!

In this case, you are looking for a value of K so the left side of the equation is equal to the right.

The left side of the equation is K (3x - 2), and the right is 4 - 6x. To get the left side to equal the right, you can set K = -2. This is because of the distributive property: a number just outside of the parenthesis can distribute to everything in the parenthesis like so:

-2 (3x - 2) = (-2 * 3x) - (-2 * -2) = -6x + 4

Therefore, your answer is K = -2.

Hope this helps!

(Side note: a better way to do this would be to divide both sides by 3x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope would be y2-y1/x2-x1

so the distance is y and the time is x so what you are going to do is 30-18 over 5-3 which then means it would be 12/2 which equals 6

Answer:

$= {x}^{ - 11} {y}^{ - 11} {z}^{ - 10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$= \frac{ {x}^{ - 9} {y}^{ - 5} {z}^{ - 7} }{ {x}^{2} {y}^{6} {z}^{3} } \\ = {x}^{ - 9 - 2} {y}^{ - 5 - 6} {z}^{ - 7 - 3} \\ = {x}^{ - 11} {y}^{ - 11} {z}^{ - 10}$
