First you have to distribute the -12 to the x and 5. So you would get -12x -60=144. Then you add 60 to each side and get -12x=204. Then divide 204 by -12 and you get the answer of x=-17.

-12(x+5)=144
(use distributive property) -12x+ (-60)=144
                                                 +60     +60
    -12x=204
    -204   -204
  -12x-204=0
  +12x       +12x
 -204=12x
-204/12  12x/12
-17=x
x=-17

Function 1 is defined by the equation y=2x+10
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

C. The functions have the same y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

In slope intercept form, y = mx + b, b represents the y-intercept, and in the first function the y-intercept is 10.

The y-intercept is when x = 0, and in the chart, when x equals 0, y equals 10.

10 = 10, so they have the same y-intercept.

What is the measure of an angle if it is 260 degrees less than six times its own complement?
poizon [28]

Answer:

40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles have a sum of 90.

y = 90 - x

The angle is 260 degrees less than six times its complement.

y = 6x - 260

90 - x = 6x - 260

350 - x = 6x

350 = 7x

50 = x

This is the measure of the complement.

y = 90 - x

y = 90 - 50

y = 40

This is the measure of the first angle.
