Answer: x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer begins with the distributive property, multiplying positive 2 times the elements in parenthesis.

5x - (2)(2x - 1) = 6

5x - 4x - 2 = 6

1x = 6 + 2

x = 8

How do i make 5x+2y=4 into the form of y=mx+b

malfutka [58]

First you minus 2y on both sides and you get: 5x=-2y+4. Then you minus 4 on both sides to get 5x-4=-2y which in turn is y (-2y) = mx (5x) + b (-4) : -2y=5x-4
