You can divide it and get 2.2
8x - 4y = 8
-4y = -8x + 8
y = -8x/-4 + 8/-4
y = 2x - 2, comparing to y = mx + c, slope m = 2
Slope = 2.
Parentheses first
9q-14+3q-3(8)=7
9q-14+3q-24=7
Combine like terms
9q + 3q - 14 - 24 = 7
12q -38=7
add 38 to both sides
12q - 38 + 38 = 7 + 38
12q = 45
divide both sides by 12
q = 45/12
q = 3.75
Find x you mean?
substract both side by 2x
5x=-35
divide both side by 5
x=-7
