Im not so sure but, 3x2=6; 2x3=6; 6+6=12
It's actually spelled multiplication
The first thing you should do is solve the equation yourself.
1) Distribute the 2.
6x + 4 = 2x – 16
2) Next, you'll want to get the x's on one side. So add -2x to both sides.
6x + 4 + -2x = 2x + -2x - 16
4x + 4 = -16
3) Now subtract 4 from both sides
4x + 4 – 4 = -16 – 4
4x = -12
4) Finally, divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = -12/4
x = –3
To solve this problem all you need to do is look back out you work, and figure out the correct solution. The answer the question is The student made an error in Step 1.
So first, you need to identify the parts of this equation.
3x is the slope of the line, which is 
.
-5 is the y-intercept. or the part of the line that touches the y-axis.
The first thing you want to do is plot the y-intercept. SO, go to the y-axis and find -5. Plot your point there.
Now, use the slope to find your next plot. Since slope is 
, you go up three, and over to the right one.
Now, draw a line connecting the dots. Your slope should be positive and look like > /
