As you can see, every time x increases by 2, y decreases by 5.
So, we have

Hi there!

The greatest common factor of 40 and 24 is 8.
8 goes into 40 5 times:
8 goes into 24 3 times.
We can rewrite this expression for distribution using the amount of times 8 goes into both numbers:
8(5 + 3)
Using this, we get:
8(5) + 8(3) = 40 + 24.
Answer:
x= 10/3
or
x= 3.334
Depending on simplified form asked.
Step-by-step explanation:
6x +8 =28
subtract 8 from both sides
6x = 20
divide by 6
x=20 /6
x= 10/3 or x =3.334
