Question 329295: Solve graphically: 3/4x - 2 = -1/4x - 5
Is it possible to solve without graphing calculator?
I solved the equation for x (x = -3) but does not work when I substitute -3 back in for x. I know this is fairly basic but I am unable to complete. Thanks for any help.

Sorry, but the graphical solution to a single variable linear equation is so trivial as to be unworthy of anyone's time and effort. The solution is, indeed,









Checks.

If you really must have a graphical solution, draw a number line. Then put a nice fat dot on the number .

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
