solve for x:

x - 8 = 3x - 2

-3

-2

3

1

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

You add the eight to both sides, leaving x on the left and making the -2 a 6 on the right.

Now you have x= 3x-6

Add the six to the right, giving you 6+x=3x

Subtract the x from the left and right. you get 6=2x

Divide 6 by 2 to get x.

step-by-step explanation:

abc

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
