Answer:

x = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(2x + 5) - 3 = -3(x - 1)

-4x - 10 - 3 = -3x + 3

-4x - 13 = -3x + 3

-x = 16

x = -16 <--- This is the answer

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x= -16

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute -2

-2 * 2x =-4x

-2 * 5 = -10

-4x - 10 -3 = -3 (x-1)

distribute -3

-3 * x = -3x

-3 * -1 = 3

-4x - 10 -3 = -3x + 3

combine like terms

-4x -13 = -3x + 3

-4x + 3x = -x

3 + 13 = 16

-x = 16

divide by -1

x = -16

What is the solution of -8 / 2 y - 8 equals 5 / y + 4 - 7 y + 8 / Y 2 - 16

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The value of y is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$\dfrac{-8}{2y-8}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-16}$

It can be rewritten as

$\dfrac{-8}{2(y-4)}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}+\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-4^2}$

$\dfrac{-4}{(y-4)}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}+\dfrac{7y+8}{(y+4)(y-4)}$

Multiply both sides by (y+4)(y-4).

$(y+4)(y-4)(\dfrac{-4}{(y-4)})=(y+4)(y-4)(\dfrac{5}{y+4})+(y+4)(y-4)(\dfrac{7y+8}{(y+4)(y-4)})$

$(y+4)(-4)=(y-4)(5)+7y+8$

$-4y-16=5y-20-(7y+8)$

$-4y-16=5y-20-7y-8$

$-4y-16=-2y-28$

$-4y+2y=-28+16$

$-2y=-12$

Divide both sides by -2.

$y=6$

Therefore, the value of y is 6.

The endpoints of WX are W(2,-7) and X(5,-4). What is the length of WX?

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

<h2>WX = 3√2 units </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for calculating the distance between two points to calculate the length of WX.

D = √(y₂-y₁)²+(x₂-x₁)²

Given the endpoints W(2,-7) and X(5,-4), x₁ = 2, y₁ = -7, x₂ = 5 and y₂ = -4

Substituting this values into the formula to get the length of WX will give;

WX = √(-4-(-7))²+(5-2)²

WX = √(-4+7)²+3²

WX = √3²+3²

WX = √18

WX = √2*9

WX = 3√2 units

Hence the length of WX is 3√2 units.
