-2 -13.8x = -8 -6x -1
First, I distributed the negative 1 that was outside of the parentheses to the positive 6x and the positive 1.

-2 -13.8x = -9 -6x
Then I added the negative 8 to the negative 1 which equals negative 9.

-2 -13.8x +6x = -9 -6x +6x
After that I used the addition property and added a positive 6x to both sides.

-2 -7.8x = -9
Then simplifying.

+2 -2 -7.8x = -9 +2
After simplifying, I used the addition property again, adding a positive 2 to both sides.

-7.8x = -7
Simplified.

-7.8x (-1) = -7 (-1)
Then I multiplied both sides by with a negative 1 since the variable cannot be a negative.

7.8x = 7
Simplified

(1/7.8) 7.8x = (1/7.8) 7
Then, to isolate the veriable, I multiplied 1/7.8 to both sides.

x = 1.11428571429

I hope this helped !

Answer:

The first picture is a function and the second picture is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reason - In the first picture, there is no repeating value of x. In other words, every x value has a y value. However, in the second picture, the x value, 2 goes to 2 and -3.

The measure of an angle is 78°. What is the measure of a complementary angle?
ki77a [65]
First you need to know the definition of a complementary angle. That means that two angles add up to 90 degrees, or a right angle.

To find an angle complementary to a 78 degree angle, you need to subtract 78 from 90. 

90 - 78 = 12
