You multiply everything in the parenthesis by the number outside.
In this case its 2 and -1. the first part is 2a-8 the second part is 4a -2a+16a
so it looks like this 2a-8=4a-2a+16a.
combine like terms and get 2a-8=18a.
Subtract the other 2a from the other side and you have 8=16a
divide each side by 16 and you have 8/16 which is one half.
The answer would be 460 centimeters
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
First write the equation in slope-intercept form which is more commonly known as <em>y = mx + b</em> form where the <em>m </em>or the coefficient of the x term represents the slope of the <em>b</em> or the constant term represents the y-intercept.
Subtract 2x from both sides to get <em>y = -2x - 4</em>.
I put the x term first because that's how it is in y = mx + b form.
Now we can see that the <em>b</em> or the constant term is -4.
We can write this as the ordered pair (0, -4).
Keep in mind when writing a y-intercept as an ordered pair, your x-coordinate will always be 0 in the ordered pair.
