Two friends, Jade and Paul are arguing …
Who is right?
Investigate using the equation
2x – 8 + 2x = 12.
Start by testing Jade’s comment, then test Paul’s.Test it on some other equations. Each time changing what you do to each side.

The red, blue and green spots continue in the same way.
a) Describe the rule for for placing blue spots.
b) Can there be a point thathas two differentcoloured spots on it?How did you decide?
c) Decide which colour spots, if any,are on these points:
(100, 101), (101, 100)
(101, 103), (100, 100)
(101, 101), (103, 102).

a) The equation of thered line is y = 2x + 2.
b) The equation of the greenline is y = 2x.
c) The blue line is parallel to a line with equationy = 2x.
d) The green line will passthrough the point (5, 10).
e) The green line only crosses the other three lines at the points (-2, -4) and (2, 4)and nowhere else.
