Combine like terms:
subtract x from both sides to get
2x+5=14
subtract 5
2x=9
isolate x:
divide 2 from both sides to isolate x
x=9/2
that's your final answer. unless your teacher wants you to put it in decimal form in which all you do is divide 9÷2.
This is approx $400 in US dollars when comparing 460 Canadian dollars<span />
All you need to do is plug in the points!
Here we go:
3(0)- 4(-5)-8
If it equals 12, then it is a point and an answer.
3(0)- 4(-5)-8= 12
(0,-5) is a point!
Next one:
3(4)-4(-2)-8
12+8-8
That equals twelve. (4,-2) is an answer as well!
I am going to quickly plug in the rest of the points, since I think you have the idea.
<span>(8,2) 3(8)-4(2)-8= 8 This is not an answer.
(-16,-17) 3(-16)-4(-17)-8 = 12 This is answer.
(-1,-8) 3 (-1)-4(-8)-8= 21 This is not an answer.
(-40,-34) 3(-40)-4(-34)-8= 8 This is not an answer.

I hope this helped you!
Brainliest answer is always appreciated!
x = total amount of gumballs
let's start subtracting the balls she's giving away
and we also know that after all that has been subtracted, she's only left with 5, so we can say that
<span>8x + 8y = -48
-------------------------
Plug in -8 for x
(8) (-8) + 8y = -48
-------------------------------
Simplify
</span><span><span><span>(8) </span><span>(<span>−8</span>) </span></span>+ <span>8y </span></span>= <span>−<span>48
</span></span><span><span>−64 </span>+ <span>8y </span></span>= <span>−<span>48
</span></span><span><span>8y </span>− 64 </span>= <span>−<span>48
</span></span>-----------------------------------------
Add 64 to each side
<span><span><span>8y </span>− 64 </span>+ 64 </span>= <span><span>−48 </span>+ 64
</span><span>8y </span>= <span>16
</span>---------------------------------------------------
Finally, divide each side by 8
8y ÷ 8 = 16 ÷ 8
y = <span>2
</span>----------------------------------------------------------------
y = 2 is your answer
