Question

I have trouble in algebra. So can you help me what is y = -2x - 5 y = 8x + 5

Answer 1

Y= -2x-5
Y=8x+5

^^ those two equations are basically the same so you put them side by side like:

-2x-5=8x+5

Subtract 5 on both sides which leads to:

-2x-10=8x

Add 2x both sides:

-10=10x

Divide both sides by 10

-1=x
