Answer:
y = 7 - 2x/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Make the y alone, so 3y = -2x+21
Divide everything else by 3, so y = -2x/3 +7
You end with the answer of y= 7-2x+3
They are similar. Set the proportions equal to each other
(x + 8)/8 = (x+14)/12
Cross multiply
(x + 8)/8 (8)(12) = (x + 14)/12 (12)(8)
12(x + 8) = 8(x + 14)
Distribute the 12 and 8 to the corresponding monomials inside the parenthesis
12(x + 8) = 12x + 96
8(x + 14) = 8x + 112
12x + 96 = 8x + 112
Isolate the x. Subtract 8x from both sides and 96 from both sides
12x (-8x) + 96 (-96) = 8x (-8x) + 112 (-96)
12x - 8x = 112 - 96
4x = 16
Isolate the equal sign. Divide 4 from both sides
4x/4 = 16/4
x = 16/4
x = 4

Answer:
c) 1
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = g(x)
-x+2 = 5x-4
+x +x
2 = 6x -4
+4 +4
6 = 6x
(divide both sides by 6)
1 = x
