-7+1=6x. -6=6x. So the answer will be -1 bc they have opposite signs

-7=6x-1
+1 +1 *Move the constants to one side and the variable to the other*
-----------
-6=6x
--- ---
6 6
x=-1

*-7+1=-6 due to rules saying that if a negative number is added to a positive number, it will be subtracted and if the negative number is higher than the positive number, then the sum will be negative*

*We then divide by the number with the variable so we can isolate it.*

Answer:

The answer is -4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x^2 - 5x^2 + 4x^2

= -3x^2 + -5x^2 + 4x^2

Combine like terms:

-3x^2 + -5x^2 + 4x^2

(-3x^2 + -5x^2 + 4x^2)

Segment addition with variables

oksian1 [2.3K]

<em>x equals 22</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

____________________________________________

The Segment Postulate states the following:

<em>Given two end points A and B, a third point C lines on the segment AB if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation:</em>

$\overline{AB}=\overline{AC}+\overline{CB}$

____________________________________________

From the figure:

$\overline{AC}=8+x \\ \\ \overline{CB}=10 \\ \\ \overline{AB}=40$

Our goal is to find x:

$\overline{AB}=\overline{AC}+\overline{CB} \\ \\ Substituting \ values: \\ \\ 40=(8+x)+10 \\ \\ 18+x=40 \\ \\ Subtracting \ 18 \ from \ both \ sides: \\ \\ 18-18+x=40-18 \\ \\ \boxed{x=22}$
