The answer is 8 because four plus eight equals twelve
-55 is an i
nteger.
It is not a whole number because it is negative.
It is not a natural number because it is not a whole number.
It is not irrational because it can be written as a fraction

.
Find x and y intercept and plot
set x to zero and find y
set y to zero and find x
tada, 2 points
if x=0, then y=-4
if y=0, then x=-16
we havee the points
(0,-4) and (-16,0)
or
y=-1/4x-4
Since the second equation gives a value for a, we can substitute it into the other equation to find a value for B.
Let's substitute b-2 into the first equation wherever there is an a.
a - 3b = 4
(b-2) - 3b = 4
b - 2 - 3b = 4
-2 - 2b = 4
-2b = 6
b = -3
Now let's find a by substituting -3 into either of the equations to find the value of a.
a = b - 2
a = -3 - 2
a = -5
So your solution set is (-5, -3)
