A system of equations is created by using the line represented by 2x+4y=0 and the line represented by the data in the table below. x y - 1 8 3 - 4 5 - 10 6 - 13 What is the x-value of the solution to the system?

Simplifying 2x + 4y = 0

Solving 2x + 4y = 0

Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4y' to each side of the equation.

2x + 4y + - 4y = 0 + - 4y Combine like terms: 4y + - 4y = 0 2x + 0 = 0 + - 4y 2x = 0 + - 4y

Remove the zero: 2x = - 4y Divide each side by '2'. x = - 2y

Simplifying x = - 2y
