After solving the given equation, you will find out that x= -7

Step-by-step explanation:

From my understanding, the unknown value of x has to be calculated in this equation

1. Bracket open

-2(-4x - 2) - 5x + 5 = -12

8x + 4 -5x + 5 = -12

2. Take all variables at the left side and all numbers at the right side

8x - 5x = -12-4-5

3. Make x the subject

3x = -21

x = $\frac{-21}{3}$

4. Solve to find x

x = -7

Therefore, the value of x is -7

sukhopar [10]

Answer: 20.71 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

the length of the poles are 25m and 35 m

The length of the cable is 23 m

Suppose the distance between them is x

From the figure, apply Pythagoras theorem

$\Rightarrow 23^=x^2+10^2\\\Rightarrow 529-100=x^2\\\Rightarrow x^2=429\\\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{429}=20.71\ m$

Distance between Poles is 20.71 m
