Question

Guys please help

Find the intersection of y = 2(x+2) and y = 4(x-4).

Answer 1

you can solve this using the simultaneous equation

so y = y

4(x-4) = 2( x + 2)

4x - 16 = 2x +4

4x - 2x = 4+16

2x/2=20/2

therefore x=10

y=2 (x+2)

y=2(10+2)

y=2(12)

y=24

Answer 2

(10, 24)

Explanation:

First equate both the equations,

2(x+2) = 4(x-4)

Then expand the brackets,

2x + 4 = 4x - 16

Collect like terms in each sides,

4 + 16 = 4x - 2x

Simplify and solve,

20 = 2x

20 ÷ 2 = x

x = 10

Then substitute 10 for x in one of the equations,

y = 2(x + 2)

y = 2(10 + 2)

y = 24

Therefore, the point of interssection is (10, 24).
