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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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.)
  4. Therefore, your answer is x= -5

Hope I helped! :)

what is an equation of the line perpendicular to y+1=-3(x-5) and passes through (4,-6)? please help quick
Fiesta28 [93]

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is -3. Since perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, the slope of the line we need to find is 1/3.

Substituting into point slope form, we get:

y + 6 = ⅓(x+6)
