9x+8y=116
Y=x+4
Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x−3)=8(x−1)
Distribute
4x - 12 = 8x -8
Subtract 4x
4x-12 -4x= 8x-8-4x
-12 = 4x-8
Add 8 to each side
-12+8 = 4x-8+8
-4 = 4x
Divide by 4
-4/4 = 4x/4
-1 =x
This equation wouldn't work out without numbers, and the x's would cancel each other out.
It seems the first line has to be
1. AB=CD and AD=CB 1. given
