She should have added 2 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 2.
2x -2 = 14
Add 2 to both sides:
2x = 16
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 8
If you're trying to solve for y
-2y = 8
Divide -2 to both sides
Cancel out the -2 on the left, Divide the -2 to the 8 on the right so
y = -4

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
6(x - 1) = 9(x - 4)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 6x - 6 = 9x - 36
- Subtract 6x on both sides: -6 = 3x - 36
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: 30 = 3x
- Isolate <em>x</em>: 10 = x
- Rewrite: x = 10
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 6(10 - 1) = 9(10 - 4)
- Subtract: 6(9) = 9(6)
Here we see that the 2 expressions are exactly the same.
∴ x = 10 is the solution to the equation.
6^3 = 216 because you multiply 6 three times.
This is going to be an long answer, so I'm putting the answer first. y=3x-7
First, you have to find the equation of the line given. You can use point slope form for that. You can see that the slope is -1/3, and it goes through (2,2). So, the equation would be
y-2=-1/3(x-2)
Which simplifies to
y=-1/3x+8/3
Now, we can get on to finding the actual answer. The slope of a line perpendicular would be the negative reciprocal of the original slope. That just means you flip it and multiply it by -1. So, the slope of the new line is 3. Now you can use point slope form again and make an equation, which is
y+1=3(x-2)
Which simplifies to
y=3x-7
Please don't ask me why the slope is the negative reciprocal, or how they came up with the formula for the point slope form. I DON'T KNOW. If you want to know so bad you would give up chick-fil-A for the rest of your life, there's always google.
