Answer: A
Explanation:
Just use substitution because it's more efficient. Plug -2x-8 into y to make -2x-8=3x+2. Add 8 to both sides to get -2x=3x+10. Subtract 3x to both sides to get -5x=10. Divide -5 to both sides to get x=-2. Now, plug in x=-2 to one of the equations, let's use y=3x+2. The equation would be y=3(-2)+2. Multiply 3 and -2 to get -6. Add -6 to 2 and you'll result with y=-4.
Answer:
Hey there!
The equation is y=-3/4x+6. (Note the 3/4 is negative because the line has a negative slope.
Let me know if this helps :)
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
5(2x + 2) = 10
10x + 10 = 10
10x = 0
x = 0

First of all, your second term is already wrong. When you divided 8x² by 4 ,
you should have written 2x² , not 4x² .
Make that correction, and then divide the whole thing by 'x'.
Then you'll have x² - 2x + 1 = 0 .
You should have no trouble solving that one,
(especially since it's a perfect square)
That gives you two (equal) solutions. But you should also ask yourself:
"Self ! Where is the third solution ? A cubic equation like the original
one needs three solutions."
I'll give you that one:
Look over the original equation, and look at what happens to it when x = 0 .
Then the left side becomes zero, and the equation is 0 = 0 . Since that's a
true statement, " x = 0 " is another solution of the cubic equation, and now
you have all three of them.
