Part A: Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = 8x and y = 2x + 2 intersect are the solutions of the equation 8x = 2x + 2. (4 points) Part B Make tables to find the solution to 8x = 2x + 2. Take the integer values of x between -3 and 3. (4 points) Part C: How can you solve the equation 8x = 2x + 2 graphically? (2 points) Can anyone help me solve this please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Part A..think about why they would intersect at a particular y value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IF a =b and b=c then a also equals what ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a also equals b and c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So if y = 8x and y = 2x + 2...what can you deduce about y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8=2x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If the two lines intersect does y have to be the same for both equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does that help you with Part A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so
