Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
can be simplified to:

Make them have common denominators so:

Simplify:

I don't think you can simplify that fraction further so that's the answer.

= 3 Multiply both sides by 2
-4 + x = 6 Add 4 to both sides (to cancle out the -4)
x = 10
Rewrite the equation into slope intercept form:
8y = -5x+16
divide everything by 8 to get just y
y = -5/8x+2
the slope = -5/8
The expression can be simplified as:
b-8
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
5^2 means 5*5 not 5*2
5^2 = 5*5 = 25 not 10
