Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:






This implies
x+2=4
and
-(x+2)=-4.
x+2=4 implies x=2 since subtract 2 on both sides gives us x=2.
Solving -(x+2)=-4 should give us the same value.
Multiply both sides by -1:
x+2=4
It is the same equation as the other.
You will get x=2 either way.
Let's check:


Put both sides into your calculator and see if you get the same thing on both sides:
Left hand side gives 256/81.
Right hand side gives 256/81.
Both side are indeed the same for x=2.

Answer:
a = 3, b = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the first equation for y, we get ...
2y +16 = 6x . . . . . given
y = 8 +3x . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 3x -8 . . . . . . . subtract 8
In order for the system of equations to have infinitely many solutions, the second equation must be the same as this:
y = ax +b
a = 3, b = -8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 8x + 8
f(x+1) = 8(x+1) + 8
= 8x + 8 + 8
= 8x + 16
