What is the value of x in the equation 2(x – 3) + 9 = 3(x + 1) + x?
x =

Start with

Expand both parentheses by multiplying both terms by the number outside:

Sum like terms:

Simplify the "+3" on both sides:

Subtract 2x from both sides:

Divide both sides by 2:

x-3y=4

step-by-step e

look at the picture.

y-intercept for the function on a picture is 4 → point (0, 4).

y-intercept for the function

is for x = 0. substitute:

y-intercept is 8 → point (0, 8).
