Answer:
Associative Property
Step-by-step explanation:
X=y+2
x=3y
2x=4y+2
4y+2=2(y+2)
4y+2=2y+4
2y+2=4
2y=2
y=1
x=3
1+3=4
Their sum is 4
Hope this helps :)
If you’re solving for a... subtract the 8 to the other side so...
-4(a+3)- 3(2a-8) = 22.
Distribute the -4 and -3 into the parentheses (two negatives multiplied together is a positive)...
-4a-12-6a+24 = 22.
Add the constants and a’s together.
-10a + 12 = 22
Subtract 12 to the other side.
-10a = 10
Divide both sides by -10.
a = -1
Check and make sure that this answer works with the problem.
-4(-1+3)-3(-2-8)=22
-4(-2)-3(-10)=22.
-8+30=22.
22=22, the answer checks out
The slope would be y = -1/2x + 3
The y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis which is at 3 and the slope is rise over run -2/4 or -1/2
