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

Make x the subject of the formula y= 2x +5
Kryger [21]

Answer:

x= (y-5)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the x variable.

y= 2x +5

Subtract 5 from both sides.

y-5=2x

Divide both sides by 2.

(y-5)/2= x

If a line passes through the points (2.5,3.5) and (4.5,7.5) the equation of the line is y-7.5=2(x-_)
Scrat [10]
(7.5-3.5)/(4.5-2.5)= 4/2= 2

y - 7.5 = 2(x - 4.5): the answer

To complete: y - 7.5 = 2x - 9
y = 2x - 1.5
