Solve the equation. 5x + 6 = 2(2x – 3)

Isolate the variable on one side of the equation and everything else to the opposite side of the variable.

You can isolate the variable by undoing the operations done to the variable.
For example, if we added 5 to x (x + 5) then we would need to undo that operation. We would need to use the inverse of addition. Which is subtraction.

5x + 6 = 2(2x - 3)
5x + 6 = 4x - 6 <-- Distribute the 2
x + 6 = -6 <-- Subtract 4x from each side
x = -12 <-- Subtract 6 from each side

So, x is equal to -12.

Angelica earns d dollars for babysitting each week. She also receives an allowance of $10 per week. The expression (10+d)∙5 can

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The amount of money Angelica will have at the end of five weeks if d = $25 is $175.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The allowance Angelica earns for baby sitting = d dollars per week

The amount she receives as allowance = $10 per week

The amount she will have at the end of 5 weeks = (10 + d)·5

The amount, A, of money Angelica will have at the end of five weeks if d = $25 is given as follows;

A = (10 + 25) × 5 = $175

The amount of money Angelica will have at the end of five weeks if d = $25 is $175.

what is the equation in slope form of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (-3,1)

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Calculate the slope of the given line using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 2) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{2+4}{2+2}$ = $\frac{6}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$

Parallel lines have equal slopes and using (a, b) = (- 3, 1), then

y - 1 = $\frac{3}{2}$ (x - (- 3)), that is

y - 1 = $\frac{3}{2}$ (x + 3) ← in point- slope form
