Steps to solve:

-5(x - 2) = -(x + 6)

~Simplify both sides

-5x + 10 = -x - 6

~Subtract 10 to both sides

-5x = -x - 16

~Add x to both sides

-4x = -16

~Divide -4 to both sides

x = 4

Best Of Luck!

Answer:

\huge{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{x = 4}}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{ - 5(x - 2) =  - (x + 6)}

Distribute -5 through the parentheses in left hand side

Similarly, distribute ( - ) sign through the parentheses in right hand side

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 5x + 10 =  - x  - 6}}

Move x to left hand hand side and change it's sign

Similarly, move 10 to right hand side and change it's sign

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 5x + x =  - 6 - 10}}

Collect like terms

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 4x =  - 6 - 10}}

The negative integers are always added but posses the negative ( - ) sign

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 4x =  - 16}}

Divide both sides by -4

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{ - 4x}{ - 4}  =  \frac{ - 16}{ - 4}}}

Calculate

\longrightarrow{ \sf{x = 4}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you can present a problem in Latex, you can do anything. I don't know what the question mark is for. I'm just ignoring it.

55 2/3 * 66 5/6

One of the ways to get the answer is to use decimals

55.666666667 * 66.833333333 = 3720.38889

Another way to do this problem is to break up one of the numbers

55 2/3 (66 + 5/6)   You can do this if you know how to use the distributive property.

55 2/3 * 66 + 55 2/3 * 5/6

( (165 + 2) / 3) * 66 + (165 + 2)/3 * 5/6

167/3 * 66 + 167 / 3 * 5/6

167 * 22 + (167 * 5 / (3 * 6)

3674 + 835 / 18

3674 + 46 7/18

3720 7/18

If none of these seem right and you have choices, please list them.

What is the solution to the system of equations?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There is an error in the question. The table does not show two linear functions.  y₁ is a linear function, but   y₂ is not a straight line. It makes a bend at (-6,1).

Line 1 goes through (-12,-3) and (0,5).

slope  = (5-(-3))/(0-(-12)) = 2/3

y-intercept = 5

y₁ = (2/3)x + 5

Line 2 goes through (-12,-2) and (-6,1).

slope = (1-(-2))/(-6-(-12)) = 1/2

y₂ = (1/2)x + 4

(2/3)x + 5 = (1/2)x + 4

x = -6

y = (2/3)x + 5 = 1

Solution: (-6,1)

Find the value of x.
Tatiana [17]

\large \mathfrak{Solution : }

The given pair of angles are vertical opposite angle pair so, they are equal. i.e

  • (x + 90)\degree = 4x\degree

  • (4x - x) \degree= 90\degree

  • 3x\degree = 90\degree

  • x\degree =  \dfrac{90\degree}{3\degree}

  • x\degree = 30\degree
