Answer:

A. (–8, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)       y =  ½x + 6  

(2)       y = -¾x –  4     Set (1) = (2)  

½x +   6 = -¾x –  4     Multiply each side by 4

2x  + 24 = -3x – 16     Add 16 to each side

2x  + 40 = -3x              Subtract 2x from each side  

        40 = -5x              Divide each side by -5

(3)       x = -8                 Substitute (2) into (1)

          y = ½(-8)  +6

             = -4 + 6

             =  2

The solution to the system of equations is (-8 ,2).

You can see the graphs of the two functions in the figure below. The two lines intersect at (-8, 2).

Check:

2 = ½(-8) + 6     2 = -¾(-8) - 4

2 = -4 +6           2 = 6 - 4

2 = 2                 2 = 2

Zinaida [17]
Distance traveled in 3 hrs was (speed in mph)(3 hrs)

Then s(3 hrs) + 12 mi = 132 mi.

Therefore, 3s = 120, and s = 120 miles   /   3 hrs   = 40 mph (answer)

2(2 – 2x) = –3x A. –4 B. 4 C. 6 D. 0
zlopas [31]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve:

2(2−2x)=−3x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(2−2x)=−3x \\ (2)(2)+(2)(−2x)=−3x(Distribute) \\ 4+−4x=−3x \\ −4x+4=−3x

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

−4x+4+3x=−3x+3x \\ −x+4=0

Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.

−x+4−4=0−4 \\ −x=−4

Step 4: Divide both sides by -1.

\frac{ - x}{ - 1}  =  \frac{ - 4}{ - 1}

Therefore, the answer will be x = 4.
