5x + 5 = x + 45 PLEASE HELP

1 answer:

5 0

$5x+5=x+45$

We'd rather not have x on both sides of the equation when trying to solve this. To eliminate the x on the right side, subtract both sides by x.

$5x+5-x=x+45-x$
$4x+5=45$

Let's get eliminate the "5" on the left side. Subtract both sides by 5.

$4x+5-5=45-5$
$4x=40$

To finish this, divide both sides by 4.

$4x \div 4=40 \div 4$
$x=10$

That is the answer. Hope this helps! :)

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints (5,-9) and (-2,-2)

QveST [7]

Another way to solve this is to use the Midpoint Formula. The midpoint of a segment joining points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is

$\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right)$

So the midpoint of your segment is

$\left(\frac{5+(-2)}{2},\frac{-9+(-2)}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{3}{2},-\frac{11}{2} \right)$

Perhaps it helps to see that the x-coordinate of the midpoint is just the average of the x-coordinates of the points. Ditto for the y-coordinate of the midpoint; just average the y's.
