What is a correct first step for solving this equation? 2x−1(5−3x)=4x+2

The first step would be applying the distributive property.

2x - 1(5 - 3x) = 4x + 2

Distributive property.

2x - 5 + 3x = 4x + 2 is what the equation looks like after successfully applying the distributive property.

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
