Answer:
y = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute x = - 2 into the equation and solve for y
3(- 2) + 5y = 8, that is
- 6 + 5y = 8 ( add 6 to both sides )
5y = 14 ( divide both sides by 5 )
y = 
Looks like you are missing a fraction after the 'If'

- The two areas are the same.
- To find the area, we multiply the side lengths. Y=area
Rectangle 1: side lengths 4 and (x+1)
y=4(x+1)= 4x+4
Rectangle 2: side lengths 3 and (2x-2)
y=3(2x-2)= 6x-6
- Since the two areas are same, we can conclude that
4x+4=6x-6
-2x=-10, x=5
- Since x is 5, we can plug it into the equations to find y.
Option 1 with rectangle 1: y=4(5)+4, y=24
Option 2 with rectangle 2: y=6(5)-5, y=24
I graphed the linear equation on desmos.

Your question evokes several thoughts. Here are two of them:. 1). It takes 3 points not all on the same line to define a plane. 2). Two points ALWAYS lie on the same line.
