Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 2(x + 3) = 4x - 9 - x
Start by multiplying 2 by the values in the parenthesis
3x - 2x + 6 = 4x - 9 - x
Subtract 3x - 2x and 4x - x
x + 5 = 3x - 9
Add 9 to both sides of the equation
x + 14 = 3x
Subtract x from both sides of the equation
14 = 2x
Divide both sides of the equation by 2
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
none of the above
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try the points in the equations (none works in any equation), or you can plot the points and lines (see attached). <em>You will not find any of the offered answer choices goes through the given points</em>.
___
You can start with the 2-point form of the equation of a line. For points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) that equation is ...
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)·(x -x1) +y1
Filling in the given points, we get ...
y = (3 -1)/(2 -4)·(x -4) +1
y = 2/(-2)(x -4) +1 . . . . . simplify a bit
y = -x +4 +1 . . . . . . . . . simplify more
y = -x +5 . . . . . . . . . . . slope-intercept form
