Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve:
Distribute 5 among everything inside the first parentheses. You'll get 5x - 15.
Next distribute -2 among everything in the second parentheses. You'll get
-2x - 2.
<u>All together: 5x - </u><u>15</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>2x </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>= 4</u>
Now combine like terms:
5x - 2x = 3x and -15 - 2 = - 17
<u>All</u><u> </u><u>together</u><u>: 3x -</u><u> </u><u>17 = 4</u>
Add 17 on both sides to get 21, and then divide both sides by 3. Answer is x = 7.
________________________________
Last, don't forget to check your work.
You can plug in 7 for x to get:
5(7 - 3) = 20
5 × 7 = 35
5 × -3 = -15
35 - 15 = 20
-2(7 + 1) = -16
-2 × 7 = -14
-2 × 1 = - 2
-14 -2 = -16
<u>20 - 16 = 4</u>
⬆⬆⬆Therefore this is correct.
Sorry this is a bit lengthy, but hope this helps :)
x+19= 26
x+19-19= 26-19
x= 7
Check answer by using substitution method
x+19= 26
7+19= 26
26= 26
Answer is x= 7 (D.)
Answer:
c. (5, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
as we can clearly see, the 4th vertex has to be on the positive side of x.
therefore, all answer options with negative x are out.
(2, -5) is almost at D (-1, 5). that cannot be right for a rectangle.
that leaves only c as right answer.
FYI - how to get this without predefined answer portions ?
the x- difference of B to A is 4 (from -5 to -1). the x-difference from D to C must be the same (4). 1 + 4 = 5.
so, x of D must be 5.
the y- difference of B to A is 3 (from 3 to 6). the y-difference from D to C must be the same (3). -5 + 3 = -2.
so, y of D must be -2.
