-5x + 12 - 7x = -3(5x + 8)

Mathematics

Simplify -5x + 12 - 7x to -12x + 12

-12x + 12 = -3(5x + 8)

Expand

-12x + 12 = -15x - 24

Add 15x to both sides

-12x + 12 + 15x = -24

Simplify 12x + 12 + 15x to 3x + 12

3x + 12 = -24

Subtract 12 from both sides

3x = -24 - 12

Simplify -24 - 12 to -36

3x = -36

Divide both sides by 3

x = -36/3

Simplify 36/3 to 12

<u>x = -12</u>

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

y-9=-3(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in point-slope form is given as

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Here m=-3 and (x1, y1)=(5, 9)

Therefore,

y-9=-3(x-5)
