Maryjo decided to solve the equation 3x - 2 = -x - 6

3x-2=-x-6

do the inverse and add 2 to the whole number on the other side which is -6

3x=-x-4

do the inverse with the variable -x and add x to 3x

4x=-4

divide -4/4 since the inverse of multiplication is division

x=-1

The point (5, 10) will work for the rule y=x+5.y= 10 x= 510=5+510=10therefore the ordered pair (5, 10) works for the rule
