Let's get the same terms on the same side.
I am going to remove 5x from both sides of the equation by subtracting 5x

5x - 5x<span> -7 = 7x -</span>5x<span> - 17</span>
           -7 = 2x - 17   now lets remove the 17 from both sides
       -7 + 17 = 2x     (why do we add 17?  Think of 2x -17 as 2x +  -17.  Tor remove a negative number we add it.
Now we finally have     10=2x and if we divide both sides by 2

<u>10</u><span>  = </span><u>2x</u><u>
</u>2       2    we get that x = 5
<u />Let's check by substituting 5 in the original equation:
5(5) - 7 = 7(5) - 17
25 - 7 = 35 - 17
<span>18      =       18</span>

(4,0) , (-8,0) calculate the distance between the given points
valina [46]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Using formula

distance = \sqrt{ (y2 - y1)^{2}  + (x2- x1)^2}

Then input the values:

Distance = \sqrt{ (0 - 0)^{2}  + (-8- 4)^2}

               = \sqrt{0 + 144}

               = 12
