A student is solving the equation 4

)
=

. Which describes a first step the student could use to solve the equation correctly?

4(x−5)=−6x−7+2

first step open bracket and add or subtract no.

4x-20=-6x-5

put common in each side

4x+6x=-5+20

10x=15

x=15/10=3/2

first one is your answer

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.
