Not quite sure what you mean by brackets, but you can get the solution to this equation in a few steps:
<span>(-2x - 1)</span>² <span>= 0 ... square root both sides to eliminate the squared binomial
</span>√(-2x - 1)² = √0 ... simplify; the square is canceled out and the root of 0 brings you back to 0
-2x - 1 = 0 ... solve like a two-step equation
-2x = 1
x = -1/2 is your x-value.
5 minutes
32/160 = 0.2 mile/min
0.2x = 1
0.2x/0.2 = 1/0.5
x = 5

Answer:
Since both equations are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other.
y =-3x +8
y = -5x -2
-3x +8 = -5x -2
Solve for x.To do this, we need to get x by itself. First, move all the numbers to one side of the equation, and all the variables to the other.
-3x +8 = -5x -2
Add 5x to both sides
-3x+5x +8=-5x+5x -2
2x+8=-2
Subtract 8 from both sides
2x+8-8 = -2-8
2x=-10
Now, all the numbers are on one side, with the variables on the other. x is not by itself, it is being multiplied by 2. To undo this, divide both sides by 2
2x/2= -10/2
x= -5
Now, to find y, substitute -5 in for x in one of the equations.
y = -5x -2
y= -5(-5) -2
y=25-2
y=23
Put the solution into (x,y)
<u><em>The solution is (-5, 23)</em></u>
3(4x - 2) = 2(6x - 3)
12x - 6 = 12x - 6
Add 6 on both sides
12x = 12x
Divide by 12 on both sides
x = x
That means this has infinite solutions. Your answer is B.
Y = -15 is the answer and blah
