Mathematics

5x – 2(x + 7) = -5

mutiply the bracket by -2

(-2)(x)= -2x

(-2)(7)= -14

5x-2x-14=-5

3x-14= -5

move -14 to the other side, sign changes from -14 to +14

3x-14+14= -5+14

3x= 9

divide by 3 for both sides

3x/3= 9/3

x= 3

Answer: x= 3

Write an expression that is equivalent to three over four(5z + 16).
klio [65]
Your answer is B. Using the distributive property, 3/4 • 5z equals 15/4z, which can't be simplified. Then 3/4 of 16 is 12. If you divide 16 by 4 (the denominator) and then multiply by 3 (the numerator) that yields your answer.

-12+x-34=60<br> If you like this question please rate this five stars!<br> Thank you!
natulia [17]

Answer:

x=106

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−12+x−34=60

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−12+x−34=60

−12+x+−34=60

(x)+(−12+−34)=60(Combine Like Terms)

x+−46=60

x−46=60

Step 2: Add 46 to both sides.

x−46+46=60+46

x=106

Determine the equation of the line with slope 3 that passes through the point M(1, 2).
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the slope along with an (x, y) coordinate with which to write the equation.  You could use this info in the slope-intercept form and solve for b, or you could use this info in the point-slope form and solve it for y.  Trust me when I tell you that either one will get you the correct equation.  Promise!  I used the point-slope form, just because.  ; )

y - 2 = 3(x - 1) and

y - 2 = 3x - 3 and

y = 3x - 1 OR in standard form, we will put the x and y terms on the same side of the equals sign, separated from the constant:

-3x + y = -1.  But if we get picky and do not like to lead with negatives, we could change ALL the signs to their opposites (which is the same as multiplying the whole thing by a -1) to get

3x - y = 1 which is the third choice down.
