Answer:
Combine like terms
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step in such equations is to simplify the equation which is done most often by combining like terms, and by combining like terms i mean for example:
1 + 5 + 3x = 4y + z
You will combine the like terms (those that can be added or subtracted):
6 + 3x = 4y + z
In our example, combining terms would be adding 2x/3 and 1x/3 to give
3x/3 + 2 = 5
The equation is now simple and easy to solve as you simplify 3x/3 to 1x and then proceed to rearrange the equation to yield the value of x
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
16x > 2x - 3
Subtract 2x from both sides
14x > -3
Then divide; -3/14

The value of "b" is the y-intercept.
In order to figure out slope-intercept form you need 1 coordinate and the slope.
1) Find the slope, using the 2-point slope formula: "m= y2-y1 / x2-x1".
ex. m= -5 - 3 / -4 - -6 (simplify)---> m= -4
2) Fill in the blanks for point-slope formula: "y - y1 = m (x - x1)"
(choose one coordinate, it doesn't matter which one)
ex. y - -5 = -4 (x - -4)
3) Then use basic algebra to simplify.
