What you want to do with this equation is make a triangle connecting the two points you have and count the distance (rise/run) for this you would get 6/1 !
Add all sides. 5x+2+3x+8+4x-1 Combine like terms 12x+9 Subtract nine to get it on the other side of the equal sign 12x= -9 Divide by twelve x=-9/12 Simplify x=-3/4 Plug in x.
