When solving a system by graphing you need to see where the lines intersect.
Below is a picture of these lines graphed. The green line is y = x +4 and the blue line is y = 4x - 1
The red dot represents the intersection is about (1, 5)
The original point is: (1.667, 5.667)
Hope this helped!
The slope of the line l is the opposite reciprocal of y+2x=9. Rearranged the equation to y=9-2x and we get a slope of -2. The opposite reciprocal of -2 is 1/2.
y-y=m(x-x)
y-3=.5(x-4)
y=.5x+1
At the x-intercept, y=0, so
0=.5x+1
-1=.5x
x=-2
Expand
simplify 36 - 4.5x + 36 to -4.5x + 72
simplify 102 - 7.5x - 60 to -7.5x + 42
add 7.5x to both sides
simplify -4.5x + 72 + 7.5x to 3x + 72
subtract 72 from both sides
simplify 42 - 72 to -30
divide both sides by 3
simplify 30/3 to 10
Answer: x = -10
Two plus ten times eight
(2+10)*8 = 96
