Answer:

2x+4=18

2x=18-4

2x=14

x=14/2

x=7

25+3x=15

3x=15-25

3x= -10

x= -10/3

A line passes through the points (–1, –5) and (4, 5). The point (a, 1) is also on the line.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the equation of the line using the 2 points given.

Let's call -1 as x_1 and -5 as y_1

also, 4 as x_2 and 5 as y_2

The equation of line is :

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

Let's plug the points and get the equation of the line:

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\y+5=\frac{5+5}{4+1}(x+1)\\y+5=2(x+1)\\y+5=2x+2\\y=2x-3$

Now, to find a, we substitute a in x and 1 in y of the equation of the line we just got:

$y=2x-3\\1=2(a)-3\\1=2a-3\\2a=4\\a=\frac{4}{2}=2$

Answer:

5a -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(2a + 3) + (3a - 7) ← remove parenthesis

= 2a + 3 + 3a - 7 ← collect like terms

= (2a + 3a) + (3 - 7)

= 5a + (- 4)

= 5a - 4
