Question #022d7

Answer 1

`a=4`
`b=-4/3`
`d=7`
`e=2`

Explanation:

Start with a. a is the y-value, so set y equal to a and x equal to 0.
`a=3(0)+4` `rarr` expand
`a=0+4` `rarr` simplify
`a=4`

Repeat this for b, but with x equal to b and y equal to 0.
`0=3(b)+4` `rarr` subtract 4 from both sides
`-4=3b` `rarr` multiply by `1/3`
`-4/3=b`

Again for d, with 1 as your x-value and d as the y-value.
`d=3(1)+4` `rarr` expand
`d=3+4` `rarr` simplify
`d=7`

Finally, repeat for e, with the x-value as e and your y-value as 10.
`10=3(e)+4` `rarr` subtract 4 from both sides
`6=3e` `rarr` multiply by `1/3`
`2=e`
