Instead of explaining with words, I will list steps that hopefully you can understand!

Step 1: List it as it is so that we can get it correct!

5x + 2 = 8x + 5

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.

2 - 2 = 0
5 - 2 = 3

Step 3: Simplify.

5x = 8x + 3

Subtract 8x from both sides.

5x - 8x = -3x
8x - 8x = 0

Step 4: Simplify.

-3x = 3

Step 5: Divide by -3.

-3 / -3 = 1
3 / (-3) = -1

x = -1

If you need help, let me know and I will gladly assist you!

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: when you send a number across it can change it sign. If it is positive it will turn negative.

5x + 2 = 8x + 5

Send 8x across

5x + 2 - 8x = 5

send 2 across

5x - 8x = 5 - 2

- 3x = 3

Divide both sides by - 3

- 3x/- 3 = 3/- 3

- 3 cancel out - 3

x = 3/ - 3

3 divided by - 3 is - 1

x = -1

Find the distance between (-2, 8) and (11, 2). Round to the nearest hundredth.

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

14.32

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the distance using the distance formula:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

We then substitute (-2,8) as $(x_1,y_1)$ and (11,2) as $(x_2,y_2)$ .

$d=\sqrt{(11--2)^2+(2-8)^2} \\d=\sqrt{(13)^2+(-6)^2} \\d=\sqrt{169+36}\\d=\sqrt{205}=14.32$

In the diagram below, what is the measure of the missing angle?

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Answer is 62 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°

x + 70 + 48 = 180

x + 118 = 180

x = 180 - 118

x = 62
