Question

Which answer shows this equation in standard form?



8 – 4(x – y) = –6x + 6

Answer 1

@iGreen

Answer 2

First distribute -4 into the parenthesis.

Answer 3

8-4(-4-y)=-6x+6

Answer 4

\(-4(x - y)\)

\(-4 \times x + -4 \times y\)

\(-4x + 4y\)

So we have:

\(8 - 4x + 4y = -6x + 6\)

Subtract 8 to both sides:

\(-4x + 4y = -6x - 2\)

Now add 6x to both sides, what do you get?

Answer 5

2+y=-6x-14

Answer 6

Um..no..

Answer 7

Add \(-4x + 6x\) tell me what you get.

Answer 8

2x

Answer 9

Yes, so that gives us:

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