-2 ( -4x + 7 ) = -2 + 4x

-2 ( -4x + 7 ) = -2 + 4x

(distribute)

( -2 )( -4x ) + ( -2 )( 7 ) = -2 + 4x
8x - 14 = 4x - 2

(subtract 4x from both the sides)

8x - 14 - 4x = 4x - 2 - 4x
4x - 14 = -2

(+ 14 on both sides)

4x - 14 + 14 = -2 + 14
4x = 12

(divide both sides by 4)

4x/4 = 12/4
x = 3

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!

Step 1: 6x-10=1; step 2: 6x=11
