Let's use our trigonometric skills to solve for this one:
Hello!
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.<span><span><span>
1.5<span>(<span>x+4</span>)</span></span>−3</span>=<span>4.5<span>(<span>x−2</span>)</span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>
(1.5)</span><span>(x)</span></span>+<span><span>(1.5)</span><span>(4)</span></span></span>+</span>−3</span>=<span><span><span>(4.5)</span><span>(x)</span></span>+<span><span>(4.5)</span><span>(<span>−2</span>)</span></span></span></span>(Distribute)<span><span><span><span><span>
1.5x</span>+6</span>+</span>−3</span>=<span><span><span>4.5x</span>+</span>−9</span></span><span><span><span>
(<span>1.5x</span>)</span>+<span>(<span>6+<span>−3</span></span>)</span></span>=<span><span>4.5x</span>−9</span></span>(Combine Like Terms)<span><span><span>
1.5x</span>+3</span>=<span><span>4.5x</span>−9</span></span><span><span><span>
</span></span></span>Step 2: Subtract 4.5x from both sides.<span><span><span><span>
1.5x</span>+3</span>−<span>4.5x</span></span>=<span><span><span>4.5x</span>−9</span>−<span>4.5x</span></span></span><span><span><span>
−<span>3x</span></span>+3</span>=<span>−9</span></span>
Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.<span><span><span><span>
−<span>3x</span></span>+3</span>−3</span>=<span><span>−9</span>−3</span></span><span><span>
−<span>3x</span></span>=<span>−12</span></span>
Step 4: Divide both sides by -3.<span><span><span>
−<span>3x</span></span><span>−3</span></span>=<span><span>−12</span><span>−3</span></span></span><span>

The graph should start at zero, and go up four for every number
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Slope-intercept form: 
where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0)
<u>1) Determine the slope (</u><u><em>m</em></u><u>)</u>
where two points that fall on the line are 
and 
On the graph, two points are highlighted for us: (0,-4) and (2,2). Plug these into the formula:
Therefore, the slope of the line is 3. Plug this into :
<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (</u><u><em>b</em></u><u>)</u>
Recall that the y-intercept occurs when x=0. Given the point (0,-4), the y-intercept is therefore -4. Plug this into :
I hope this helps!
8x - y = 54
8x + 2y = 60
subtracting, we get -3y = -6
y = 2
x = 7
Answer is (c) (7,2)
