5x-20+2= -173
5x-18= -173
5x= -155
x= -31
First, you multiply everything in parentheses by 5 and then add the 2. Next, you subtract 20-2 which will give you -18. Then, you add 18 to both sides which will give you -155. Finally, you divide -155 by 5 to give you a final answer of -31.

Answer:
x = -31

Explanation:
To get the value of x, we will need to isolate the x on one side of the equation.
This can be done as follows:
5(x-4) + 2 = -173

1- get rid of the brackets:
5x - 5(4) + 2 = -173
5x - 20 + 2 = -173

2- Combine like terms:
5x - 20 + 2 = -173
5x - 18  = -173
5x = -173 + 18
5x = -155

3- Get rid of the coefficient of the x:
5x = -155
x = -155/5
x = -31

Hope this helps :)

Given the equation −4x + 10 = 2, which order of operations completely solves for x?
hammer [34]
Hi there!

Answer:
The answer is "<span>Subtract 10, then divide by −4"

Explanation:
To solve a linear equation (for x) we need to isolate the variable (x). First we need to bring the variables to the left side (in this case, it is already on the correct place). Next up is bringing all the integers to the right side. Therefore, we must first subtract 10. Our final step is dividing by the number that is placed in front of x (in this case divide by </span><span>−4)
</span><span>
Solving the equation:
</span><span>−4x + 10 = 2
First subtract 10 (from both sides of the equation)

</span>−4x  = −8
Divide by −4

x = −8 / −4 = 2
Therefore, the solution is x = 2

I hope this anwer helps you!

Answer:

The y-intercept is b=0

The y-intercept represents the initial quantity of gas in the canister which is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is where the graph of the straight line  touches the y-axis.

From the graph, the y-intercept is the origin (0,0).

Recall that the slope intercept form of a straight line is y=mx+b, where b=0 is the y-intercept in this case.

Since the graph represents the amount of gasoline in a canister after Joshua begins to fill it at the gas station pump, the y-intercept means the initial gallons of gas in the canister is zero.
