If you were to make both x's equivalent, you'd have to multiply the first equation by 2 to get rid of the coefficient, 1/2. However, you'd have to multiply 2 onto -8 as well, therefore the equation would turn into x - 16 = 18. That is not equivalent to x - 8 = 18.
Answer:
both shape together equals 234
Step-by-step explanation:
trapezoid= 14+10/2*4=34
rectangle=10*20=200
Okay well it kept saying that I for some reason was not using appropriate words so my long response got deleted.
tldr; we can treat this like a box that we put something into (x) and we get something back from it (y).
We can then take this data we get and put it in a table. This is useful for finding patterns.
I will post a picture of what a table may look like.
Hope this Helps!
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b. since there is no b term, the y intercept is 0. since there is a 9 in the m term, your slope will be nine. based on those two things, you need a point at (0,0) and (1,9). on the other end, your point will be (-1,-9). then draw a straight line through. hope this helps :)
