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.
-$$( 5 x - 4 ) - 1 = 6 ( x + 8 )$$
A) $\{ - 53 \}$
B) $\{ 53 \}$
C) $\{ 13 \}$
D) $\{ 51 \}$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rewriting the equation: $5x - 4 - 1 - 6(x + 8) = 0$. Simplifying gives $-x - 53 = 0$, so $x = -53$.

Rewrite the Equation So That One Side Is 0, Then (5x−4)−1=6(x+8)( 5 x - 4 ) - 1 = 6 ( x + 8 )(5x−4)−1=6(x+8)

Rewrite the Equation So That One Side Is 0, Then $( 5 x - 4 ) - 1 = 6 ( x + 8 )$
