How do you solve 5x-2=8?

Mathematics

MariettaO [177]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2 = 8

get rid of 2 to get x by itself on the left side

5x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2 (whatever u do to one side do to the other)

5x = 10

divide to get 1x (divide both sides by 5)

x = 10

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

5×2=10-2=8

You subtract add two to both sides, giving you 5x=10

Divide the 10 by 5 and you get 2.

Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line described.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

y= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

x=0 is a vertical graph hence the perpendicular graph would be a horizontal line, a y= ____ graph.

Since it passes through the point (-2, -5),

the equation of the line is y= -5.

This would be in slope- intercept form since the gradient of horizontal lines is zero.

y= mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Given that gradient =0, m=0

y= 0x +c

when x= -2, y= -5,

-5= 0(-2) +c

-5= c

c= -5

Thus the equation is y= -5.

How many different arrangements can be made with the letter of the word 'M O R O C C O'?
valentinak56 [21]
Since the order matters, it's a permutation of 7 letters, but mind you in 
MOROCCO. you have 3 O's and 2 C's, Hence the arrangements are:

⁷P₇ /(3!2!) = 7!/(3!2!) = 5040/(3!2!) = 420 arrangements

What is the value of k used to find the coordinates of a point that partitions a segment into a ratio of 5:3. Please Explain.
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The value of k is 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of k is found by dividing the numerator of the original ratio, 5, by the sum of the numerator and denominator of the ratio

When finding a point, P, to partition a line segment AB into the ratio a/b, we find a ratio c = a / (a + b)

According to this formula we find the value of k.

k = a/(a+b)

where a = 5

b = 3

Now plug the values in the formula:

k = 5/(5+3)

k = 5/8 ....
