For the first one,
you multiply 5x and -5 to get -25.
Then you move the constant to the right and change the sign to get 3x= -21 +25.
Calculate the sum of -21+25 to get 4.
Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get x=4/3.
So then your final answer is x=4

3
For the second one,
Distribute 7 through the parentheses to get 14x + 14+8=120
The you add 14+8 to get 22. Your equation should be 14x+22=120
Move the constant to the right side and change its sign to get 14x=120-22
Subtract 120-22 to get 98. Now your equation should be 14x=98
Divide both sides of the equation by 14 to get x=7.
Your finial answer for the second one should be x=7.

I hope this made sense.
Two similarities between constructing a perpendicular line through a point on a line and constructing a perpendicular through a point off a line are;
- 1. Arcs are drawn to cross the given line twice on either side relative to the point
- 2. The perpendicular line is drawn using a straight edge by connecting the small arcs formed using the arcs from step 1, to the point on the line or off the line
Description:
1. One of the first steps is to place the compass on the point and from
point, draw arcs to intersect or cross the given line at two points.
2. The compass is placed at each of the intersection point in step 1 and
(opened a little wider when constructing from a point on the line) arcs are
drawn on one (the other side of the point off the line) side of the line with
the same opening (radius) of the compass to intersect each other.
3. From the point of intersection of the arcs in step 2, a line is drawn with a
straight edge passing through the given point.
