$\text{The distributive property:}\\\\a(b-c)=ab-ac\\\\8(y-7)=(8)(y)-(8)(7)=8y-56\\\\\text{If you want whole solution:}\\\\8(y-7)=-16\\8y-56=-16\qquad\text{add 56 to both sides}\\8y-56+56=-16+56\\8y=40\qquad\text{divide both sides by 8}\\\dfrac{8y}{8}=\dfrac{40}{8}\\\boxed{y=5}$

What is the image point of ( -5,0 ) after a translated left 2 units and down 3 units ?

kvv77 [185]

Answer: ( -7 , -3 )

Step by step:
The point: ( X , Y )
Left 2 units = change X by -2
So, -5 subtract by 2 equals -7
Down 3 units = change Y by -3
So, 0 subtract by 3 equals -3
Now, X = -7 and Y = -3, so the answer is ( -7 , -3 )

Hope this helps! Please tell me if I did anything wrong, thank you!
