Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Distribute

3(x - 6) + 6 = 5x - 4

3x - 18 + 6 = 5x - 4

2) Add the numbers

3x - 18 + 6 = 5x - 4

3x - 12 = 5x - 4

3) Add 12 to both sides

3x - 12 = 5x - 4

3x - 12 + 12 = 5x - 4 + 12

4) Simplify

Add The Numbers:

3x - 12 + 12 = 5x - 4 + 12

3x = 5x - 4 + 12

Add the numbers:

3x = 5x - 4 + 12

3x = 5x + 8

5) Subtract 5x from both sides

3x = 5x + 8

3x - 5x = 5x + 8 - 5x

6) Simplify

Combine like terms:

3x - 5x = 5x + 8 - 5x

-2x = 5x + 8 - 5x

Combine like terms:

-2x = 5x + 8 - 8

-2x = 8

7) Divide both sides by each factor

-2x = 8

-2x/-2 = 8/-2

8) Simplify

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator:

-2x/2 = 8/-2

Divide the numbers:
x = 8/-2

x = -4

Solution:

x = -4

(4,7), (x,19); slope = 3 the pair points lies on the same line with the given slope. Find x
Andrew [12]
So we are given two points, say P1(4,7), P2(x,19).

Slope is given by 
m=3=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(19-7)/(x-4)
solve for x
3=(19-7)/(x-4)
cross multiply
3(x-4)=12
3x-12=12
3x=12+12=24
x=8

What is the value of x?<br> pls help im so confused
Makovka662 [10]

In the proportional theory,

28 units is the total measurement that includes 8 units.

So, 10 + 3x - 5 is the total measurement that includes 10 units proportionally.

This means,

28 = 10 + 3x - 5

Now solve for x,

28 = 10 + 3x - 5

28 - 10 = 3x - 5

18 + 5 = 3x

23 = 3x

23 / 3 = x

So x = 23/3 or 7.6666....
