2(3 - x) = -16
3 - x = -16/2
3 - x = -8
-x = -8 - 3
-x = - 11
x = 11

What is the solution of the system? Use substitution. y = 6x + 2 3y - 18x = 12

kicyunya [14]

3(6x+2)-18x=12 (y=6x+2, so you plug in 6x+2 into the y in 3y-18x=12)
18x+6-18x=12 (Then you distribute the 3 to the 6x and to the 2)
6=12 (Combine like terms 18x-18x)

There is no solution. Hope this helps and makes sense.

1) A line with gradient 2 passes through (0, 4). Write down the equation of the line.

blondinia [14]

For the attached image, note that slope is the same thing as gradient.

1) y = 2x + 4

2) Substituting in x = 1 and y = 1,

1 = 4(1) + c

1 = 4 + c

c = -3

So, the equation is y = 4x - 3
