Which of the following is equivalent to: -(3x + 2)
Select one:
a.
-3x + 2
b.
-6x
c.
-5x
d.
-3x - 2

D is the answer

-(3x + 2)

d) -3x-2

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- (3x + 2) which is equivalent to

- 1 (3x + 2) ← multiply each term in the parenthesis by - 1

= - 3x - 2 → d

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form

570, the answer is 570, hope it
