Answer:

x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

First, get rid of parentheses:

5 + x - 2 = -8

Then, simplify:

3 + x = -8

Finally, subtract 3 on both sides:

x = -11

Hope this helps ^^

Is the point (2, 2 1/2) on the graph of y=x+2? How do you know?

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

No, it is not on the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in (2, 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ ) to y = x + 2

(2 $\frac{1}{2}$ ) = (2) + 2

$2\frac{1}{2} \neq 4$

Solve<br> 4x + 1 = 2x -5

Jobisdone [24]

∑ Hey, ramosblan81 ⊃

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>⇒ Given:</em></u>

<em>4x + 1 = 2x -5</em>

<em />

<u><em>║ Solve ║:</em></u>

<em>4x + 1 = 2x -5</em>

<em>Subtracting 1 from both sides:</em>

<em>4x + 1 = 2x -5</em>

<em>4x + 1 - 1 = 2x -5 -1</em>

<em>4x = 2x - 6</em>

<em>Now subtracting 2x from both sides:</em>

<em>4x - 2x = 2x - 6 - 2x</em>

<em>2x = -6</em>

<em>Then divide both sides by 2</em>

<em>2x/2 = -6/2</em>

<em>x = -3</em>

<em />

<em>Thus, the answer is x = -3.</em>
