Question

Select the equation that matches the written description.

A number, y is eight less than negative nine times a number,x.
(А)
y = -4x + 8
B
y = 3x + 8
y = -9x - 8
D
y = 5x + 8

Answer 1

C. y = -9x - 8

Explanation:

Setting up the equation:

eight LESS (so minus sign before the 8) THAN (so 8 is being subtracted from the -9x) negative (-) nine TIMES (multiplication) a number, (variable) x.

We want to get the variable y alone, so this can be written as y = -9x - 8

Answer 2

I believe it’s y=3x+8 I hope this helps :)
