-2x + 5 = -1

subtract 5 from both sides: -2x = -6

divide each side by -2: x = 3

plug in 3: 5(3)

multiply: 15

the value of 5x is 15.

First, solve for x.

-2x + 5 = -1

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 5 from both sides

-2x + 5 (-5) = -1 (-5)

-2x = -6

Next, divide -2 from both sides

-2x/-2 = -6/-2

x = -6/-2

x = 3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plug in 3 for x

5x = 5(3) = 5 x 3 = 15

15 is your answer

hope this helps

Answer:

\frac{1}{ 9 }

Step-by-step explanation:

\huge \frac{ {9}^{ \frac{1}{2}b } }{ {3}^{a} }  \\  \\  =  \huge \frac{ {( {3}^{2} )}^{ \frac{1}{2}b } }{ {3}^{a} } \\  \\  =  \huge \frac{ { {3}}^{2 \times  \frac{1}{2}b } }{ {3}^{a} }  \\  \\  \huge =  \frac{ {3}^{b} }{ {3}^{a} }  \\  \\  \huge =  \frac{1}{ {3}^{a - b} }  \\  \\   \huge=  \frac{1}{ {3}^{2} } \\  ( \because \: a - b = 2)\\  \\  \huge =  \frac{1}{ 9 }
