Solve the equation 5(x-2)=7(x+4) for x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sphinxa [80]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

\boxed{\bold{x=-19}}

Step By Step Explanation:

Expand \bold{5\left(x-2\right): \ 5x-10}

Expand \bold{7\left(x+4\right): \ 7x+28}

\bold{5x-10=7x+28}

Add 10 To Both Sides

\bold{5x=7x+38}

Subtract 7x From Both Sides

\bold{5x-7x=7x+38-7x}

Simplify

\bold{-2x=38}

Divide Both Sides By -2

\bold{\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{38}{-2}}

Simplify

\bold{x=-19}

a big cruise ship dropped anchor off the Caribbean island of antigua. the heavy anchor dropped into the water at a rate of 2.5 m
AysviL [449]

Falling at the rate of 2.5 m/s for 45 seconds, the anchor fell

                                     (2.5 m/s) x (45 s)  =  112.5 meters .

If it wound up only 40 meters underwater, then it must have fallen

                                      (112.5 m  -  40 m)  =  72.5 meters

from its storage position on the big cruise ship, 
before it ever reached the water.

Since it was falling at the rate of  2.5 m/s, it took

                                     (72.5 m) / (2.5 m/s)  =  29 seconds

to get down to the water surface after it started dropping.

What is the slop-intercept of the line that passes through the points (7,-5) and (3,-9)?
bagirrra123 [75]

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-9}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-9-(-5)}{3-7}\implies \cfrac{-9+5}{-4}\implies \cfrac{-4}{-4}\implies 1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-5)=1(x-7) \\\\\\ y+5=x-7\implies y=x-12
