3(x+2)=7 X=1/3 Because 3(x+2) would simplify to 3x+6=7 and then its a two-step equation
Use the inverse sine function on a calculator.
arcsin (0.88) = 1.08 radians
- Slope formula:
Firstly, let's set up our equation. Place the two coordinates in the slope formula and have it equal 8: 
Next, combine like terms: 
Next, multiply both sides by 7: 
Next, add 4 onto both sides of the equation: 
Lastly, divide both sides by 2 and <u>your answer will be 
</u>
ANSWER
EXPLANATION
The given expression is
The middle radical contains a perfect square.
Note that:
-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1
Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts. First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable. I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.
-x - y = 8 add y to each side
-x = 8 + y divide by -1
x = -8 - y
So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation. In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.
2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1 combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1 add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15 divide each side by -3
y = -5
Now we have a value for y. We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x. I usually choose the most simple equation.
-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8 multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8 subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3 divide each side by -1
x = -3
So our solution set is
(-3, -5)
That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.
