5 0

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

2(-x)² - 5 = 157

2x² - 5 = 157

add 5 to each side of the equation:

2x² = 162

divide both sides by 2:

x² = 81

√81 = 9 or -9

Which is the graph of the linear equation 3x - 4y = -12
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

the graph that goes through the points

(0,3), (-4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

make y the subject

3x-4y=-12

4y=3x+12

y=(3x+12)/4

now when x=0

y=12/4=3

so coordinates (0,3)

now when y=0

0=(3x+12)/4

by multplying both sides by 4

0=3x+12

0=3 (x+4)

divide both sides by 3

0=x+4

x=-4

so coordinates (-4,0)
