What page is it because I have the same math book?Unless you're not in 8th grade then I can't help.
30x + 42 = 6(5x + 7) you can understand it now
For this case what you should do is follow the following steps:
1) factorize numerator and denominator of both expressions.
2) cancel similar terms
3) add both fractions by cross product
4) Rewrite the numerator and denominator.
Answer:
See attached image.
Let x = 1. Substitute x = 1 into the equation:
y = -9X(1)+3
y = -9+3
y = -6
-> Ordered pairs are written in the form (x,y). Thus in this case, your ordered pair is (1,-6).
