Question 1122066: I understand simple equations like " x + 8 = 6" and " x + 2 = 10".
x=-2 and x=8 because obviously 8+ 2 is 10. I just don't understand the steps it takes to do equations like 4 - 7x + 10 = 15 - 6x - 8
Please explain to me in detail the steps it takes to solve 4 - 7x + 10 = 15 - 6x - 8
Thank you

Question 1122312: We were given a chart that states the population in states every 2 years. The state I chose was Navada the chart says this:
Year 2000. 2002. 2004. 2008
Population 2,000,000. 2,170,000. 2,330,000. 2,660,000
(The smaller numbers are the years and the bigger numbers are the population, population increases with each year stated)
The question asks: Let x represent the number of years since 2000. Let f(x) represent the population of the state you picked in year x. Find the y-intercept for the graph of y = f (x).
I can�t figure out where to even start... any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Question 1123002: Question on slope.
I've taken (-4,6) & (-4,-4) to determine the slope.
m=-4-6/-4-(-4)
m=-10/0
would this mean that m=0?
This has not been covered thus far, but after research, is this an infinity slope?
What would be the correct way to write the solution? Is m=0 correct?

I said that u=rcm and v=rcm therfore u=v
sinc R^3 has three spaces (v, u,x)
then v=r
u=r
and r=x
becuses they are all eqivulent.
