Hey there, Mandoguy!

To convert each equation to slope-intercept form, first we need to distribute everything that's on the parenthesis (if it has one)
So, number one would be

1) y + 3 = 4x + 24 (I multiplied 4 times x and 4 times 6)
Now, we need to isolate y and since they are adding 3 to it, we need to subtract 3 to cancel it out. Remember what we do on one side we have to do it in the other side.
So, it would be y + 3 - 3 = 4x + 24 - 3
Number 1 would be
y = 4x + 21


2) 6x + 2y = 12
Goes to
2y = 12 - 6x (I subtracted 6x from both sides to leave 2y alone)
y = 6 - 3x (I divided both sides by 2 since y it's being multiplied by 2)
y = -3x + 6 (Now, I just rearranged to make it y = mx + b


3) y = -2 + 1/3 (x + 9) In this case y is already isolated but we have parenthesis and we can't have that.
So, we distribute the number that's in front of the parenthesis to the numbers inside.
y = -2 + 1/3x + 3 (I multiplied 1/3 times x and 1/3 times 9 which is 3)
y = 1/3x + 1 (I combined like terms and rearranged to make it y=mx+b)


4) 2x - 5y = -15 (Same as always. Isolate y. Subtract 2x from both sides)
-5y = -15 - 2x (Did you see that? We have a negative value on y and we can't have that. To fix it, we multiply both sides by -1 or just change the sign of every term)
Once you do that you will get
5y = 15 + 2x
y = 3 + 2/5 x (I divided both sides by 5 to isolate y)
y = 2/5x + 3 (Rearranged it to y = mx + b)


5) -x - 2y = 2 (Since the x it's being subtracted, we added to both sides)
-2y = 2 + x (See again? We have a negative value on y, so we multiply by -1 on both sides or change every sign to the opposite of itself)
So we get
2y = -2 - x (Now, we divide both sides by 2 to isolate y)
y = -1/2x - 1 (Rearranged to y = mx + b)


Thanks for using !
See you soon.

Aand b is what i think

Answerthe simplified expression isexplanationthe given expression is,let us deal with the bracket first.the two negatives in the parenthesis will become positive.the expression now becomes,we now expand the parenthesis to get,we group like terms to obtain,this simplifies to,
