Hey there!

8(3x - 6) = 6(4x + 8)

8(3x) + 8(-6) = 6(4x) + 6(8)

24x - 48 = 24x + 48

SUBTRACT 24x to BOTH SIDES

24x - 48 - 24x = 24x + 48 - 24

SIMPLIFY IT!

NEW EQUATION: -48 = 48

ADD 48 to BOTH SIDES

-48 + 48 = 48 + 48

NEW EQUATION: 0 = 96

Thus this makes your equation has

NO SOLUTION.

Therefore, your answer is:

Option A. Because this is a false

statement, the equation has no solution.

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

A line with a slope of 1 passes through the point (18, 15). What is its equation in slope-intercept form? Write your answer usin

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

y = x - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Slope of the line = 1

Coordinate = (18, 15)

Unknown:

Equation of the line in slope-intercept format = ?

Solution:

The equation of a line is expressed as;

y = mx + c

where y and x are the coordinates

m is the slope

c is the y-intercept

Now, sine x = 18 and y = 5, let us find c;

5 = 1(18) + c

5 = 18 + c

c = -13;

The equation of the line is;

y = 1(x) + (-13)

y = x - 13

Solve -2 x + 6 = -20. -13 13 -7 7

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

First, we need to get the variable by it self.
-2x+6=20
-6=-6
-2x=14
Next, since the operation is multiplication, we need to divided both sides by -2.
X=-7

10 small and 8 large cost $192. 20 small and 1 large cost $99. What is cost of a small

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

small=s, s=3.99

large=l, l=19.20

10s+8l=192.20

20s+l=99

we can see that in the second equation, 20s+l=99

l=99-20s

lets replace l in the first equation

10s+8(99-20s)=192.20

10s+792-160s=192.20

-150s=-792+192.20

150s=599.80

s=3.99

l=99-20(3.99)=99-79.80=19.20

Which is the graph of the linear inequalityx2y>-6?

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

We will graph the inequality in simplified form i.e $y>-3$

The graph is shown in figure below

Step-by-step explanation:

Which is the graph of the linear inequality $2y>-6$

(Note: Considering the inequality is 2y>-6 and x is typing mistake.)

First we will solve the inequality to find value of y

We have inequality:

$2y>-6$

For finding y we have to divide both sides of inequality by 2

$\frac{2y}{2}>\frac{-6}{2} \\y>-3$

Now, we will graph the inequality in simplified form i.e $y>-3$

Inequality can be graphed on number line as well as graph paper.

Graph on number line

Since y is greater than -3, so all values greater than -3 will be included on the number line. An open circle will be drawn on -3, indicating -3 is not included but values greater than -3 are included. The figure A shows the graph

Graph on Graph paper

Since y is greater than -3, so all values greater than -3 will be included on the number line. A dotted line will appear on -3 and the region on right side of -3 (values greater than 3) will be shaded. The figure B shows the graph
