Answer:

x= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. subtract 3 from both sides. You should have 2x = -10

2. divide both sides by 2. You should end up with x = -5

Answer:

X= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

You must move all constants to one side of the equation (one side of the equal sign) and away from 2x. To do so, you must do the inverse operation, which would be subtraction in this case because 3 is a positive number. (Inverse of addition is subtraction, Inverse of subtraction is addition, Inverse of multiplication is division, and inverse of division is multiplication) If you squish a constant and variable together (2x) it means multiplication.
What you must do to one side, you must do to the other. So, since you subtracted 3 from the 3, you must subtract 3 from -7, too(subtracting from a negative is just addition- but you keep the negative sign). Once this is done, your equation will be 2x=-10
Now, you must do the inverse operation to 2x to separate the 2. The inverse operation will be division. So, you divide both sides by 2. 2x divided by 2 will give you x. -10 divided by 2 will give you -5. (When you divided negative and positive numbers, the signs are different, meaning it's negative. If they had the same sign, it would be positive.)
Therefore, your answer is x= -5

Hope I helped! :)

Sorry about the whole dang essay lol

the sum of the digits of a two number is 14 .if 36 is substracted from the number,the places of the digits are reversed.find the

Taya2010 [7]

The number in the ones place= X
The number in the tenths place= y
y+x=14.
y=14-x

Original placement of numbers=10y+x
New placement of numbers(after subtraction of 36)= 10x+y

10y+ x-36=10x+y
Substitute y with 14-x
So we would get

10(14-x)+ x-36=10x+(14-x)
=140-10x+x-36=10x+14-x
After transposing we get
140-14-36=10x-x+10x-x
=90=18x
X=90/18
x=5

Y=14-x
=14-5
=9

So the two digit number is
10y+x
=90+5
=95

HELP A line passes through two points with coordinates (6,-8) and (-3,7).

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of the Line</u>

The equation of a line passing through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) can be found as follows:

$\displaystyle y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

The line passes through the points (6,-8) and (-3,7), thus:

$\displaystyle y+8=\frac{7+8}{-3-6}(x-6)$

$\displaystyle y+8=\frac{15}{-9}(x-6)$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle y+8=-\frac{5}{3}(x-6)$

Multiplying by 3:

$3(y+8)=-5(x-6)$

$3y+24=-5x+30$

Moving all the variables to the left side:

3y + 5x = 30 - 24

3y + 5x = 6

When it's an acute triangle what do you notice about the sum of the areas of the 2 smaller squares in relation to the area of th

Ymorist [56]

They're the same because squares have 90 degree angles and that cut in half with a diagonal would make the angle acute at a 45 degree angle so depending on the lengths of the sides depends on the area, the angles have nothing to do with it because all squared have 4 right angles
