The key: make the base of two side the same,,,
then: for the same base, the exponents are equal.
So the easiest way to do this problem is to put your equation in linear form, meaning y = the rest of the equation.
I'm going to show the work to do that below:
2x - y = 4
-2x -2x (Here I am subtracting 2x)
- y = 4 - 2x
(-1)(- y) = (-1)(4 - 2x) (Now I'm multiplying both sides by -1 to make y positive)
y = 2x - 4 (And just for neat purposes I'm going to put the 2x in front of the 4)
Now you have your equation ( y=2x-4 ) and you're ready to put it on the points of your graph.
Start on the point (0, -4) to represent the y axis.
y = 2x - 4
Then, your rise (2) over your run (1)
so your coordinates for a line will be:
(0, -4) (-2, 1) (1, 0)
You only need to plot these three to connect your line.
I appologize for my lack of visuals i understand this might be confusing, however if you have any further questions feel free to let me know!
Answer:
$7.50
Step-by-step explanation:
56.25 divided by 7.5 = 7.5
You need two equation to solve for two variables exactly.
Using this one equation alone y=15-8x.
Do you have another equation?
