2x - 8 = 6
help please

2x  -8  =6

add 8 to -8 and 6.

the 8s cancel each other out and 6 +8 =14.

next you are going to divide 2x diveded by 2 and 14 by 2. the twos cancel out so its just x and then 14/2 is 7.

the answer is 7. hope this helps dude.

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
