How would I start to solve number 15? Would I use distributive property?

-5-x=2x-(4x+6)

Using the distributive property is the correct first step. (4x+6) is being multiplied by -1, so distributing gives

-5-x=2x+(-4x-6)
-5-x=2x+((-4x)+(-6))

Now, using the associative property of addition, you get

-5-x=(2x+(-4x))+(-6)
-5-x=(2x-4x)-6

Simplify the right hand side:

-5-x=-2x-6

Add 5 and 2x to both sides.

(2x+5)-5-x=(2x+5)-2x-6

On the left side, use the associative property. On the right, commutativity and associativity:

2x+(5-5)-x=5+(2x-2x)-6

Simplify.

2x-x=-1
x=-1

Find the scale factor
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

X = 10 or scale factor is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

first look at the scale factor going from 4 to 10, to get from 4 to 10 you would need to multiply 4 by 2.5. Since this problem doesnt give us the smaller scale factor first we need to divide 25 by 2.5 which equals 10.
