Solve the equation.
5x + 8 - 3x = -10

x = -9     i hope this helps!   :)

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given the equation  

5x + 8 - 3x = -10

first let's combine like terms

5x - 3x = 2x

2x + 8 = -10

lets subtract 8 from both sides

2x = -18

now divide both sides by the value of 2

x = -9

now lets plug the value of x into the equation we were given to begin with

5(-9) + 8 -3(-9) = -10

-45 + 8 + 27 = -10

combine like terms

-45 + 8 = -37

-37 + 27 = -10

-10 = -10

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?
