This is a linear equation, and it is solved for finding the value of x.
2x - 5 = -20
now simple number -5 goes to the other side of equation and turns into +5, then the equation becomes
2x = -20 +5
now we get 2x = -15
because -20 + 5 = -15, greater number is 20 then 5 and 20 is with - sign.
the next step is x = -15/2
in 2x, 2 is multiplying with x when it goes to the other side of equation 2 will be divided with -15, that's why we get
x = -15/2
which is the value of x

Parallel and perpendicular line (4,7);y3x+6
enyata [817]

Answer:

Parallel Line: y = 3x - 5

Perpendicular Line: y = -1/3x + 25/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given is a linear equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept.  With lines that are parallel to each other, they containt the same slope.  So, to form an equation of a line that is parallel to the first equation, the slope = 3.  Using the given point (4, 7), x = 4 and y = 7, we can use our slope-intercept form to solve for 'b':

7 = (3)(4) + b or 7 = 12 + b or b = -5

So, our equation for a parallel line would be: y = 3x - 5.

For perpendicular lines, the slope must be the opposite reciprocal of the slope from the first equation.  So, if m = 3, than the slope of the perpendicular line must be - 1/3.  Using the same point (4, 7) we can use our slope-intercept form to solve for 'b':  

7 = (-1/3)(4) + b or 7 = -4/3 + b or b = 25/3

So, our equation for a perpendicular line would be: y = -1/3x + 25/3

27x+3=6<br> Whats is x in that problem
Lilit [14]

Answer:

x=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to isolate the variable, so you must first separate the constants from the variable. Add 3 on both sides to cancel out the minus three and to move it to the other side. Now you have 27x=9. It's pretty simple from there just use your calculator and divide 27x/27 and also 9/27. That leaves you with 1/3

The perimeter of a rectangle sandpit is 40 meters. The length of the sandpit is 1 meter less than twice it's width. What are the
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

L = 15, W = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

P = 40

L = 2W - 1

40 = 2((2W-1) + W)

40 = 4W - 2 + 2W

40 = 6W - 2

42 = 6W

W = 8

Since L = 2W - 1

L = 2(8) - 1

L = 15

20. A rectangle has a length of x + 2 meters and a width of 2x - 5. (A.APR.1)
bija089 [108]

Answer:

A:

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

2x + 4 + 4x - 10 =

6x - 6

perimeter = 6x - 6

B:

(x+2)(2x - 5)            expand the brackets:

2x² - 5x + 4x - 10

area = 2x² - x - 10

C:

area = 6x - 6 = (6 x 5) - 6 = 30 - 6 = 24

perimeter = 2x² - x - 10 = (2 x 5²) - 5 - 10 = (2 x 25) - 5 - 10 = 50 - 5 - 10 = 35
