Consider the equation x – 8 = 4 – 2x.
The picture shows the graphs of y = x – 8 and y = 4 – 2x.
Which statement is true?
Line graph with 2 lines. X, y axes range from negative 10 to 10; both lines cross x, y axes; do not pass through origin. First line extends from bottom right to top left quadrants with equation: y = 4 minus 2 x. Second line extends from bottom left to upper right quadrants with equation: y = x minus 8.
CLEAR CHECK
It is impossible to tell if any x-values satisfy the equation
x – 8 = 4 – 2x.
There are no x-values that satisfy the equation
x – 8 = 4 – 2x.
There are infinitely many x-values that satisfy the equation x – 8 = 4 – 2x.
There is exactly one x-value that satisfies the equation
x – 8 = 4 – 2x.
