Answer:

<h2>x = -7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3(x+4)=-5\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\2x+(-3)(x)+(-3)(4)=-5\\\\2x-3x-12=-5\qquad\text{add 12 to both sides}\\\\-x=7\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\x=-7

The answer is -7

2x-3(x+4)=-5

Multiply by -3

2x-3x-12=-5

Collect like terms

-x-12=-5

Move constant to the right to change its sign

-x=-5+12

Add

-x=7

Change the signs

x=-7

How do you compare fractions with the same numerator but different denominator?
Anna007 [38]
To compare fractions with like numerator and different denominators, draw out the numerator and denominators to figure it out. So if you were to figure out 6/10 and 6/17, draw out the denominators and shade in how many of the numerators. Keep in mind to make sure you shade in the same area on the other fraction or else you will get confused.

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

In y=mx+b form, the b is the y-intercept, therefore where the line crosses the y-axis on the graph. In this graph, the line crosses the y-axis at 100. This means that the "b" value is 100. So far, our equation is y=mx+100.

Next, to find m, you go to any other point on the graph and see how much units (rise over run) you went to get there. I picked the point (2,150), You can see that it took me 1 unit up and 2 units to the right to get to that point, leading us to believe the slope is 1/2.

Finally, put everything together and you get the answer of y=1/2x+100 (the letters do not matter) :)
