Try to get all your like terms to the same side. for example get all your x values to the left side and all your number values to the right side.

5 + 2x = 8x - 4
2x - 8x = - 4 - 5
      -6x = -9
          x = -9/-6
          x = 1.5  or 1 1/2




hope this helps and have a great day! :)

5 + 2x = 8x - 4

Subtract 5 from both sides, as well as subtracting 8x from both sides.

2x-8x=-4-5

Add like terms.

-6x=-9

Divide both sides by -6.

x = 3/2, or 1 1/2

~Hope I helped!~

Most graphing calculators will do weighted averages pretty easily. It is mostly a matter of data entry.

mx = -2
my = 10
(x, y) = (mx, my)/10 = (-0.2, 1)

Answer:

Answer 1; Angles forming a linear sum to 180°

Answer 2; Substitution

Answer 3; Definition of perpendicular lines

Step-by-step explanation:

The two column proof is presented as follows;

Statement  {}                               Reason

1. ∠SWT ≅ ∠TWU {}                    Given

2. m∠SWT + m∠TWU = 180°  {}  Angles forming a linear sum to 180°

3. m∠SWT + m∠SWT = 180° {}    Substitution

4. m∠SWT = 90°  {}                      Algebra

5. \underset{TV}{\leftrightarrow }⊥ \underset{SU}{\leftrightarrow } {}                                  Definition of perpendicular lines

Perpendicular lines are defined as lines that are at right angles (90°) to each other, therefore given that the angle formed by the lines \underset{TV}{\leftrightarrow } and \underset{SU}{\leftrightarrow } m∠SWT = 90°, therefore, the lines \underset{TV}{\leftrightarrow } and \underset{SU}{\leftrightarrow } are perpendicular to each other.
