Reemmber you can do anything to an equaiotn as long as y ou do it to both sides

15-2x-3x
add 2x to both sides
15+2x-2x=3x+2x
15+0=5x
15=5x
divide both sides by 5
15/5=(5x)/5
3=(5/5)x
3=1x
3=x

x=3

15-2x=3x
Add 2x to both sides
15=5x
Divide by 5 on both sides
3=x

Hope it helps (:

Write an equation that represents the line. Use exact numbers. (-2,-1) (4,6)

vazorg [7]

Check the picture below.

to get the equation of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, so let's use those in the picture

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6})~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{6}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{(-2)}}} \implies \cfrac{6 -1}{4 +2} \implies \cfrac{ 5 }{ 6 }$

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{5}{6}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-2)})\implies y-1=\cfrac{5}{6}(x+2) \\\\\\ y-1=\cfrac{5}{6}x+\cfrac{5}{3}\implies y=\cfrac{5}{6}x+\cfrac{5}{3}+1\implies y=\cfrac{5}{6}x+\cfrac{8}{3}$
