Open up the brackets
$5x - 5 + 3x = 7x + 7$
Collect like terms
$5x + 3x - 7x = 7 + 5$
Simplify
$8x -7x = 12$
$x = 12$
Therefore, your answer is 12.

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the parenthesis on both sides of the equation

5x - 5 + 3x = 7x + 7

8x - 5 = 7x + 7 ( subtract 7x from both sides )

x - 5 = 7 ( add 5 to both sides )

x = 12

Use the slope-intercept form to Graph y=-1/8x+2

noname [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a straight line equation. We only need two points to draw a straight line.

Choose two different numbers, put them into the equation instead of x, and calculate the value of y.

$y=-\dfrac{1}{8}x+2$

for x = 8

$y=-\dfrac{1}{8}\cdot8+2=-\dfrac{8}{8}+2=-1+2=1$

for x = -8

$y==-\dfrac{1}{8}\cdot(-8)+2=\dfrac{8}{8}+2=1+2=3$

Mark the points in the coordinate system and draw a straight line through the given points.
