Question

A solution to the linear equation 6x+2y=-32 is. ( _ ,8)

Answer 1

Answer: -8

The ordered pair solution is ( -8, 8 )

=====================================================

To get that answer, we plug in y = 8 and solve for x.

6x+2y = -32

6x+2(8) = -32

6x+16 = -32

6x = -32-16

6x = -48

x = -48/6

x = -8

So that's how we end up with ( -8, 8 ). This point is on the line 6x+2y = -32.
