Rewrite the equation so that one side is 0, then replace 0 with y. The graph of the equation for y is shown.
Use a graphing calculator to solve the linear equation.
-$$- 8 x + 7 ( 3 x - 4 ) = - 9 - 6 x$$
A) $\{ 0 \}$
B) $\{ 1 \}$
C) $\{ - 1 \}$
D) $\{ 2 \}$

First, simplify and solve the equation: $-8x + 7(3x - 4) = -9 - 6x$ becomes $-8x + 21x - 28 = -9 - 6x$, which simplifies to $13x - 28 = -9 - 6x$. Adding 6x to both sides and adding 28 gives $19x = 19$, so $x = 1$.

Rewrite the Equation So That One Side Is 0, Then −8x+7(3x−4)=−9−6x- 8 x + 7 ( 3 x - 4 ) = - 9 - 6 x−8x+7(3x−4)=−9−6x

Rewrite the Equation So That One Side Is 0, Then $- 8 x + 7 ( 3 x - 4 ) = - 9 - 6 x$
