Distribute the 1/4:
1/4(16x) + 1/4(20) - 7x
Do the multiplication:
1/4(16x) = 16x/4 = 4x
1/4 (20) = 20/4 = 5
Now you have:
4x + 5 - 7x = 0
Combine like terms (4x and -7x):
-3x + 5 = 0
Subtract 5 from both sides:
-3x = -5
Divide by -3:
x = -5/-3 = 5/3
Answer:
x= 5/3
Answer:
(-2,-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
for question number 15...cordinated grid shows each equation...first equation is represented by straight line going upwards through +4 in y axis...(y=3x+4)...
point is....every point in this two lines represent a possible x and y value for each equation...and there is a point where these lines meet each other....in that point...x and y values are possible values for both equations.so answer is (-2,-2)...this cordination satisfy each pairs of equation...you can try using -2 for x in both equations and get -2 as the answer for y...that proves the point..try it for 16 quiz.good luck
Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yintercept
given
y=-2x+3 and
y=-4x-1
first equation is slope -2 and yintercept 3
second is slope -4 and yintercept -1
