Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5(5−7x)=8−(4x+6)

I do not like working with fractions so I will multiply by 2 on each side

2*0.5(5−7x)=2*8−2(4x+6)

5 -7x = 16 -2( 4x+6)

Distribute

5-7x = 16 -8x -12

Combine like terms

5-7x =4-8x

Add 8x to each side

5 -7x+8x = 4-8x+8x

5+x = 4

Subtract 5 from each side

5-5+x = 4-5

x =-1

podryga [215]
(-2.5,6.1)(-2.5,3.1).....notice how ur x values are the same. This means that u have a vertical line which has an undefined slope.

IF ur y values would have been the same, u would have had a horizontal line which has a 0 slope.

Rachel withdraws ​$18 from the bank account once each day for six days. What integer represents the change in the amount in the​
Margarita [4]

Answer:

-108

108

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is withdrawing, we are taking away -$18 every day for 6 days.

(-18)*6 = -108

Since it is deposits, we are adding to the amount in her account, +$18 for 6 days.

18*6 = 108

The difference is that one is taking away and one is adding each day, resulting in negative or positive change.
