Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - 5 = 8x - x + 50 \\ 12x - 5 = 7x + 50 \\ 12x - 5 - 7x = 7x + 50 - 7x \\ 12x - 7x - 5 = 50  \\ 5x - 5 = 50 \\ 5x - 5 + 5 = 50 + 5 \\ 5x = 55 \\ x = 11

and check:

12(11) - 5 = 8(11) - (11) + 50 \\ 132 - 5 = 77 + 50 \\ 127 = 127

What is the equation of a line passing through (-3,7) and having a slope of -1/5<br> PLEASE HELP
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

y = -1/5x +32/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of the equation of a line is

y = mx+b

we know m = -1/5

y = -1/5x+b

We know a x and y on the line

7 = -1/5(-3) +b

7 = 3/5 +b

Subtract 3/5 from each side

35/5 -3/5 = b

32/5 =b

So the equation is

y = -1/5x +32/5
