Plug in - 5 where X is.
f(- 5) = (- 5)^2 - ( - 5).
(- 5)( - 5) = 25 so now we have 25 - (- 5). Because there are two negatives back to back, the number becomes a positive so the equation becomes 25 + 5 = 30.
f(- 5) = 30.

How?
Explaining number 22:
Well, let’s disprove each one of them.
A.) A is saying 6x=7. Even if we simplify that, it wouldn’t make any sense in what we are trying to do. That equation is equal to x=0.86(estimated to nearest tenth)
B.) B says that 6x=3. When we simplify this, we get x=0.5. That isn’t the number we want, so we know B isn’t right
C.) C is equivalent to 2x+2=6. Let’s simplify since it is multi-step.
2x+2=6
2x=6
x=3
Since we want x to be six, this wouldn’t be the answer either.
D.) D is saying 2x=12. When simplified, this becomes x=6. BINGO THERE IS OUR ANSWER
Explaining 23:
For this, I also used process of elimination.
Remember that x is equal to 2.5
A.)
x+3=5.5
2.5+3=5.5
5.5=5.5
That works.
B.)
2x=5
2(2.5)=5
5=5
That works.
C.)
2.5/2=1.25
1.25=1.25
That works
D.)
x-10=7.5
2.5-10=7.5
-7.5=7.5
THAT DOESNT WORK THERE IS OUR ANSWER
The answer is B
You would first move 3 coordinates over on the x axis and then 4 coordinates up the y axis.
8x + 2y = 44
5x + 2y = 35
Since 2y is already common, there is no need for multiplication. Just reverse the signs on the equation.
Like this;
8x + 2y = 44
-5x - 2y = -35
All the additions become subtractions and vice versa.
-2y and +2y get cancelled.
Leaving;
8x = 44
-5x = -35
Now, subtract again.
8x - 5x = 3x
44 - 35 = 9
So;
3x = 9
x = 9 / 3
x = 3
We found 'x' and now we have to find 'y'.
Just substitute.
[8 x 3] + 2y = 44
24 + 2y = 44
2y = 44 - 24
2y = 20
y = 20 / 2
y = 10
Now, we re-check;
[8 x 3] + [2 x 10] = 44
24 + 20 = 44
Explaining the error for #9b is simply doing the whole sum.
Hope this helped! :) I tried my best to explain.
So the problem has no symbols, but we're going to multiply because the fraction on the left is right next to the parentheses.
-5/2 * 1/10x = -5x/20
I put "x" next to the 5 because the "x" counts as part of the numerator. Now that it's 5x over 20 that equals one, I'd first reduce -5x/20 into -x/4, then do
-x/4 * -4 = 1 * -4
To make the "x" side equal one, we have to multiply both sides by -4, to make both sides equal.
x = -4.
