Answer: x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute 5(x) and 5(-2)

-12 + 6x = 6 + 5x + (-10) OR 5x - 10

Flip if you'd like

6x - 12 = 6 + 5x - 10

Combine like terms

6x−12=(5x)+(6+−10)

6x - 12 = 5x - 4

Subtract 5x from both 6 and 5

6x - 5x = 5x - 5x

5x cancels out, so you're left with x, 12, and -4

x - 12 = -4

Add 12 to 12 and -4

12 + 12 = -4 + 12

12 cancels out

-4 + 12 = 8

x = 8

Write an equation for the line that has a slope of 6 and passes through the point 4, 4

Rudik [331]

Answer:

y = 6x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 6, thus

y = 6x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (4, 4) into the partial equation

4 = 24 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 24 = - 20

y = 6x - 20 ← equation of line

Slope-intercept form of Slope = -9/5, y-intercept = -4

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

y = - $\frac{9}{5}$ x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - $\frac{9}{5}$ and c = - 4 , thus

y = - $\frac{9}{5}$ x - 4 ← equation of line

What is the slope of the linear relationship shown in this table of values?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope m use any 2 ordered pairs from the table.

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 11) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 1)

m = $\frac{-1-11}{2+4}$ = $\frac{-12}{6}$ = - 2 → B

What is the volume of the prism

almond37 [142]

The volume of a rectangular prism or cube is: Length × Width × Height

In this case,

- the length of the prism is 2 feet

- the width of the prism is 1.5 feet

- the height of the prism is 1.5 feet

Multiply the above to find the volume: 2 × 1.5 × 1.5 = 4.5 ft³

Keep in mind that volume is represented in cubic units!

What are the zeros of the function f(x) = x2 + 5x + 5 written in simplest radical form?

Pavel [41]

$\boxed{x_{1}=\frac{-5 + \sqrt{5}}{2}} \\ \\ \\ \boxed{x_{2}=\frac{-5 - \sqrt{5}}{2}}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Using the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ \\ Here: \\ \\ f(x) = x^2 + 5x + 5 \\ \\ \\ So: \\ \\ a=1 \\ \\ b=5 \\ \\ c=5 \\ \\ \\ x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^2-4(1)(5)}}{2(1)} \\ \\ x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{25-20}}{2} \\ \\ x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5}}{2} \\ \\ \\ Two \ solutions: \\ \\ \boxed{x_{1}=\frac{-5 + \sqrt{5}}{2}} \\ \\ \\ \boxed{x_{2}=\frac{-5 - \sqrt{5}}{2}}$
