Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Add '-2a' to each side of the equation.

5a + -2a = -6 + 2a + -2a

Combine like terms: 5a + -2a = 3a

3a = -6 + 2a + -2a

Combine like terms: 2a + -2a = 0

3a = -6 + 0

3a = -6

Divide each side by '3'.

a = -2

Simplifying

a = -2

Graph 4x + y = 6x - 1<br> Show your work and explain the method used to determine the graph.
Maru [420]

See attachment for the graph of y = 2x - 1

<h3>How to graph the function?</h3>

The equation of the function is given as:

4x + y = 6x - 1

Subtract 4x from both sides of the equation

y = 2x - 1

This means that the equivalent equation of 4x + y = 6x - 1 is y = 2x - 1

So, we plot the graph of y = 2x - 1 to represent the equation 4x + y = 6x - 1

See attachment for the graph of y = 2x - 1

Solve the inequality.<br> 5x - 7 &lt; 8x + 8<br> The solution set is x |
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

- 5 < x

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to isolate the variable: x

5x - 7 < 8x + 8

Subtract 5x from both sides

5x -  5x -7 < 8x -5x + 8

- 7 < 3x + 8

Subtract 8 from both sides

- 7 -8 < 3x + 8 -8

-15< 3x

Divide both sides by 3

- 15/3< 3x/3

- 5 < x
