Part 1)
We have two lines: y = 2-x and y = 8x+4
Given two simultaneous equations that are both required to be true.
the solution is the points where the lines cross
Which is where the two equations are equal
Thus the solution that works for both equations is when
2-x = 8x+4
because
where that is true is where the two lines will cross and that is the common point that satisfies both equations.
Part 2) Make tables to find the solution to 2−x = 8x+4. take the integer values of x between −3 and 3
see the attached table
The table shows that none of the integers from [-3,3] work because in no case does
<span>2-x = 8x+4
</span>
To find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to the form x=n
2-x =8x+4
8x+x=2-4
9x=-2
x=-2/9
The only point that satisfies both equations is
where
x = -2/9
Find y:
y = 2-x = 2 - (-2/9) = 2 + 2/9 = 20/9
Verify we get the same in the other equation
y = 8x+4 = 8(-2/9) + 4 = 20/9
Thus the only actual solution, being the point where the lines cross,
is the point (-2/9, 20/9)------> (-0.22,2.22)
Part 3) how can you solve the equation 2−x = 8x+4 graphically?

Answer:
8 pieces of candy
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the original amount of candy in the bowl to be .
It says that 20 pieces of candy were added, therefore there are pieces of candy in the bowl.
Half of the candy is gone, therefore pieces of candy are left in the bowl.
After half of the candy is gone, there are 14 pieces left, so we can say that
