2(3x-1)=8x-20
SIMPLY
6x-2=8x-20
SUBTRACT 6x ON BOTH SIDES
-2=2x-20
ADD 20 TO BOTH SIDES
18=2x
DIVIDE 2 ON BOTH SIDES
X=9
SUBSTITUTE
3(9)-1
27-1
26
BC=26
You need to set up a fraction. You can use red/blue which would be 5/7. Then, create the second ratio which would be 8/12. And there you will find your answer, which this answer also works for your answering wether you get yes or no.
512 as a power of a number is X^512
The answer is C (-1,-4)
I got the answer by graphing the equation and plotting each the points down to see which one lies on the graph
