Aline has the equation x = -8 what is the equation of the line parallel to this line and going through the point, ( -3, -1 )?
a) y=3
b) x= -3
c) y= 2
d) x= 12

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
