PEMDAS is what I was taught.

P-parenthesis
E-exponents
M-multiplication
D-division
A-addition
S-subtraction

multiplication and division is done by what ever operation comes first reading from left to right, same with addition and subtraction.

but with this equation, we are solving for x. 

first we will multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of -1/5, which is 5. by doing this, we will get rid of the fraction. 

now we have 5x-125= 35

next, we +125 to both sides.

5x= 160

lastly, we divide both sides by 5.

x= 32

Anyone??? need some help huys:)
atroni [7]

Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b        "m" is the slope


First i would isolate the "y" in the equation.

2x + y = 4       Subtract 2x on both sides

2x - 2x + y = 4 - 2x

y = 4 - 2x    or     y = -2x + 4

The given line's slope is -2.


For lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be the opposite/negative reciprocals (flipped sign and number)

For example:

slope is 2

perpendicular line's slope is -1/2

slope is -2/3

perpendicular line's slope is 3/2


The given line's slope is -2, so the perpendicular line's slope is 1/2.

The 3rd option is your answer
