The horizontal line has an equation: y = a, where a is any real number.
We know, the line passes through the point (-8, -7) → x = -8, y = -7.
<h3>Answer: y = -7</h3>
-2x + 5 = -1
subtract 5 from both sides: -2x = -6
divide each side by -2: x = 3
plug in 3: 5(3)
multiply: 15
the value of 5x is 15.
Write an expression for 213 increased by d: 
If we were to foil
after experieence
we know
ax²+bx+c=0
and
in form
(ax+b)(cx+d)=0
if we expand it, we get
acx²+bcx+adx+bd=0
or
(ac)x²+(bc+ad)x+(bd)=0
compare to
ax²+bx+c=0
we notice that the middle terms (x terms) are
b=(bc+ad)
so
in form
(2x-1)(1x+5)
b=bc+ad=(-1*1+2*5)=-1+10=9
b=9
or you could just expand it
