P+2-4=14
p-2=14
add 2
p+2-2=14+2
p+0=16
p=16
An easy way is to do it, if you get confused by multiplying fractions, is by turning the fractions into decimals. Since you are trying to find N you want to multiply the 1/5 by the 1/3.
1/5 = 0.2
1/3 = 0.33333333333333333333333333333333
if you multiply those you get 0.06666666666666666666666666666667 which when put into a fraction it equals 1/15
but if you don't want to do that just try to remember that you want to get by itself. and when multiplying fractions in this situation the bottom numbers only matter.. so 5 x 3 = 15 1/15
would you like me to put it in a document to show you?
The answer is 6. plug it in for yourself and you will see
If we add the equations it looks like
-5y + 8x + 5y + 2x = -18+58
so 10x=40
so x=40/10=4
now let's replace x by 4 in the second equation
5y +2*4=58
5y=58-2*4=58-8=50
so y=50/5=10
so (x, y) = (2, 10)
The slope is m=9 for the points.
