Ashanti started to solve the linear equation 2x − 3 − 8x = 33. She first transformed the equation by combing like terms which resulted in 10x - 3 = 33. a) Did she transform the equation correctly? b) If not, find and explain Ashanti's error.

a)No

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 8x = -6x instead of 10x.

So it shoukd be -6x - 3 = 33

step-by-step explanation: where's the phrase?

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
