Answer:
y = -5x + 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets start with the first given values for x and y
(2,10)
Lets try out the first equation
y = 5x + 4
y = 5(2) + 4
y = 14
This equation wouldn't work because the y value is not 10 when the x value is 2
y = 5x + 20
y = 5(2) + 20
y = 30
This equation doesn't work either
y = -5x + 20
y = -5(2) + 20
y = -10 + 20
y = 10
This would be the correct equation since your y value is 10 when the x value is 2
First can you change
2x + y = -12
To have y as the subject
Looks like y = ???
The square of a binomial is written like
In your case, you have 
, which implies 
So, we want to write
But our left hand side is
If we add 26 to both sides, we have
Answer:
a) x = -10
b) x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
2(x + 3) = x - 4
2x + 6 = x - 4
2x - x = -4 - 6
x = -10
b)
4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)
20x - 8 = 18x + 6
20x - 18x = 6 + 8
2x = 14
x = 7
