Question

Y + 2 = -3x + 4

Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation,

(____, -2)

Answer 1

4/3

Explanation:

They gave us (____, -2)

We know that the front is x, and the back is y. x is blank, so we have to find out x.

Let's use the equation they gave us to solve x.

y is -2

so

-2 + 2 = -3x + 4

0 = -3x + 4

Let's isolate x

- 4 = -3x

that's why it's 4/3

Answer 2

Explanation:

Plug in the given value of y, -2, and solve for x:

-2 + 2 = -3x + 4 and

0 = -3x + 4 and

-4 = -3x so

x = 4/3
