-5x-10=2(x-4)
-5x-10=(2•x)(2•(-4)
-5x-10=2x-8
-5x-10+10=2x-8+10
-5x=2x+2
-5x-2x=2x-2x+2
-3x=2
-3x\-3=2\-3
x=0.666
x=0.67

Let us take this step by step:

-5x - 10 = -2x - 8

Then you bring the variables in the same side (also reversing - to + or + to -):

-5x + 2x = 10 - 8

Do the addition and subtraction:

-3x = 2

x = \frac{2}{3}

A vector has initial point at (3,-5) and terminal point at (-2,3). what are the characteristics of this vector?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plot both points on a graph you can see the angle is much larger than 58 degrees so it must be 122 degrees. The square root of 13 is less than 4, and you can see that the two points are further than four units apart. Sorry for a non-mathematical explanation, this is just how I solve these things lol.

This id hard please help me do this
svlad2 [7]
In this problem, we're going to use the 'PEMDAS' method.

First, we're doing the problem in the parenthesis.
44 - 4 = 40

Next in PEMDAS, we need to do the exponent.
6² = 6 x 6 = 36

Then we would do multiplication, but there is nothing to multiply so we move onto division.
40 / 2 = 20

Now we would add, but there is nothing to add so we move onto subtraction.
20 - 36 = -16

Our final answer would be -16.

Hope this helps!~

Solve the equation by the zero factor property 6x^2 -5x -6=0
Alex_Xolod [135]
First, you need to factor the polynomial.

I'll use the trial and error method.

6x^2 - 5x - 6 = 0

6 has factors
6 and 1
3 and 2

I'll try 3 and 2 first.

(3x     )(2x      ) = 0

Now we need to factor -6.
-6 factors into
-1, 6
-6, 1
-2, 3
-3, 2

Now we need to see if one of these pairs of factors placed correclty will factor the trinomial.

(3x + 2)(2x - 3) = 0

That did it.

Now we use the zero factor property.

3x + 2 = 0 or 2x - 3 = 0

3x = -2      or 2x = 3

x = -2/3     or x = 3/2
