<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

Let's add all the values on one side and make it equal to the sum of all the other values on the other side

(- X) + (- X) + (- X) + (- X) + (- X) + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = X + X + X + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1)

- 5X + 12 = 3X - 8

- 5X - 3X = - 8 - 12

- 8X = - 20 x(- 1)

8X = 20

X = 20/8

Y=.25x+176.10 Y is the monthly cost and B would be the cost of the insurance every month. X is the amount of miles driven since the .25 stays constant but the amount of miles you drive in a month is different every month, Hence, needs to be a variable that can be adjusted,

Solve for the indicated variable.<br> 8x + 4y = 12; y<br>

Ket [755]

Answer:

$y=-2x+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $8x+4y=12$

To solve for y, let us first isolate y on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting $8x$ from the left and move it to the right. We then get:

$4y=12-8x$

Now, we have y isolated. We now have to remove the 4 from the y. The only way to do this is divide both sides by 4. We then get our final answer:

$y=3-2x$

We can clean this up by putting it in a common form, slope-intercept form:

$y=-2x+3$

Which of the following equations has no solution?

Ronch [10]

Answer:

B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations with the same x- term on both sides will have no solution

4x - 13 = 5(x + 4) = 5x + 20

4x ≠ 5x

This equation has a solution

5(3 + 2x) = 10x + 4

15 + 10x = 10x + 4

10x on both sides ⇒ no solution

2(3 - 5x) = 8(x + 1)

6 - 10x = 8x + 8

- 10x ≠ 8x

This equation has a solution

9x - 6 = 3(3x - 2) = 9x - 6

9x on both sides ⇒ no solution
