The answer is 5 5/6 simplified to the max.

rewrite the equation with separated parts

-3 1/2 - 2 1/3

-3 - 2 = -5

-1/2 - 1/3? u need to find the LEAST common denominator

-3/6 - 2/6 = -5/6

how did I get 6?

Rewriting input as fractions if necessary:
1/2, 1/3

For the denominators (2, 3) the least common multiple (LCM) is 6.

Therefore, the least common denominator (LCD) is 6.

Now lastly combine them total and its -5 - 5/6 = -5 5/6.

Use the graph to find the solution of the system of equations {y = x^2 + 6x + 8 {y = x + 4
Phantasy [73]
Essentially when people ask you find the solution to system of equation, there asking at what x value do these to graphs intersect. The easiest way to do this is to get a graphing calculator, or desmos and type in the equation and find where they intersect. Heck, even the question says to solve it with a graph, but I'll demonstrate it algebraically.

One way you can do this is set the equation equal to each other. This is because you want to know at what x-value has the same y-value. So we get:

x^2 + 6x + 8 = x + 4

We can then combine like terms, or move everything to one side. So we get:

x^2 + 5x + 4 = 0.

Then we can use the quadratic formula to solve for x.

x=(-5 +/- sqrt(5^2 - 4(1)(4)))/(2(1)

This simplifies into:

(-5 +/- 3)/2

Finally we add and subtract:

(-5 + 3)/2 = x = -1
(-5 - 3)/2 = x = -4

And our solution is x = -1, x = -4

Select steps that could be used to solve the equation 1 + 3x = -x + 4.
Tema [17]

For this case we have the following equation:

1 + 3x = -x + 4

We must solve the equation by following the steps below:

We subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:

3x = -x + 4-1

On the right side of the equation we have that different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:

3x = -x + 3

We add x to both sides of the equation:

3x + x = 3\\4x = 3

We divide between 4 on both sides of the equation:

x = \frac {3} {4}

Thus, the correct option is option B

Answer:

x = \frac {3} {4}

Option B
