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

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (1, 9)

B (-4, -3)

distance = ?

Formula

distance = $\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^{2} + (y2 - y1)^{2}}$

Substitution

distance = $\sqrt{(-4 - 1)^{2} + (-3 - 9)^{2}}$

Simplification

distance = $\sqrt{(-5)^{2} + (-12)^{2}}$

distance = $\sqrt{25 + 144}$

distance = $\sqrt{169}$

Result

distance = 13

Delvig [45]

Answer:

10 m and 50 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>

l = 5w
A = 500 m²

Length and width

<h3>Solution</h3>

Area formula

A = lw
A= 5w*w= 5w²
5w² = 500
w²= 100
w = √100
w = 10 m

Then

l = 5w = 5*10 m = 50 m
