Answer 3

First subtract 8x to both sides

Answer 4

- 2y + -4 = 8x?

Answer 5

Um, no..

8x + 6y = 12

Subtract 8x to both sides, leave everything else the same.

Answer 6

0x + 2y? im so confused

Answer 7

No, subtracting will just move it to the other side:

8x + 6y = 12

6y = -8x + 12

Now divide 6 to both sides, what's 6 / 6?

Answer 9

?

Answer 10

Yes, that leaves us with just 'y'

Can you simplify -8/6?

Answer 11

no

Answer 12

?

Answer 13

would it happen to be c?

Answer 14

it would be -4/3

Answer 15

there for A.?

Answer 23

Yep, so we have:

\(y = -\dfrac{4}{3}x + 2\)

Answer 24

I don't know, A and B look the same.
