Answer:
Transitive Property
Step-by-step explanation:
Since X is the midpoint, it bisects the points RS. If MX=XS, and RS is the same as XS, then they are the same. This also follows the Transitive propety (if a=b and b=c, then a=c)
A. 25 = (.5 * 22) + (2 * x)
B. 25 = (.5 * 22) + (2 * x)
25 = 11 + 2x
14 = 2x
7 = x
C. 7
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
For these system of equations, it would be easier to use the substitution method, as we are have one equation that is being equaled to a variable.
Plug the second equation into the value of b for the first equation.
5a + 3(-2a + 3) = 11
Distribute the 3.
5a - 6a + 3 = 11
Simplify.
-a + 3 = 11
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
-a = 8
Divide both sides by -1.
a = -8
Now, we can plug this value into the second equation.
-2(-8) + 3 = b
Multiply -2 and -8 together.
16 + 3 = b
Add together 16 and 3.
19 = b
<u>a = -8</u>
<u>b = 19</u>

-5(-2b-1)
Collect like terms and simplify
(Multiply the number outside the bracket with the ones in the parentheses/bracket)
(-x-)= +
(+x+)= +
(-x+)= -
(+x-)= -
Basically same signs multiplied = +
Different signs multiplied = -
-5(-2b)= 10b
-5(-1)=5
10b+5 is your answer
