For this problem, you would have to use a system of equations. Hope this helps!
The standard form of a line:
We have the equation of a line in the slope-point form:
use distributive property
add 3 to both sides
multiply both sides by 2
subtract x from both sides
change the signs
If you want to check if (1,2) is a solution to the system, you have to plug the x and y values back into both equations. If they work for one equation, but not the other, than the coordinates are not a solution to the system.
3(1) - 4(2) = -5
3 - 8 = -5
-5 = -5
2 = 4(1) - 2
2 = 4 - 2
2 = 2
Since both of these checks are true, then (1,2) is a solution to the system.
Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x - 3(2x + 8) = 36
-4x - 6x - 24 = 36
-10x = 60
-x = 6
x = -6
