Please solve only questions 7 and 8 for me

Solution

Let's analyze and solve the requested questions 7 and 8 from the image.

Question 7:

Simplify the expression 3x32x4=5\frac{3x - 3}{2x - 4} = 5

Solution:

  1. Start by isolating the fraction on one side: 3x32x4=5\frac{3x - 3}{2x - 4} = 5

  2. Multiply both sides by (2x4)(2x - 4) to eliminate the denominator: 3x3=5(2x4)3x - 3 = 5(2x - 4)

  3. Distribute the 55 on the right side: 3x3=10x203x - 3 = 10x - 20

  4. Get all the xx terms on one side and the constant terms on the other: 3x10x=20+33x - 10x = -20 + 3 7x=17-7x = -17

  5. Divide by 7-7 to solve for xx: x=177x = \frac{17}{7}

So, the solution is: x=177x = \frac{17}{7}

Question 8:

Find the equation of Line N as shown in the graph.

Solution:

  1. The graph shows a line intersecting at two points: (2, 4) and (0, 6).

  2. First, calculate the slope mm using the formula: m=y2y1x2x1=6402=22=1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{6 - 4}{0 - 2} = \frac{2}{-2} = -1

  3. Now use the slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept. Since the line passes through (0, 6), the y-intercept b=6b = 6.

  4. The equation of the line is: y=x+6y = -x + 6

So, the equation of Line N is: y=x+6y = -x + 6

Would you like further details on these solutions or have any additional questions? Here are five related questions you might find useful:

  1. How do you solve a similar equation involving fractions and variables?
  2. How do you find the slope of a line if given different points?
  3. What does the slope-intercept form of a line represent graphically?
  4. How can you check the correctness of a calculated slope or y-intercept?
  5. What are other forms of linear equations apart from slope-intercept form?

Tip: Always cross-check by substituting your solution back into the original equation to verify its correctness.
