Well, the standard equation is in the form:
ax + bx = c (constant).
Thus, x and b must be isolated together on one side with the constant on the other. The equation which satisfies this is:
A. -2x + y = 5
Answer:
x = -18
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
Multiply 2 to both sides:
(x/2) * 2 = (-9) * 2
x = -9 * 2
x = -18
x = -18 is your answer.

Add whole numbers: 2 + 6 + 8 = 16
Add fractions:
= 1/3 + 3/4 + 1/2
= (8 + 18 + 12) ÷ 24
= 38/24 or 1 14/24 or simplified to 1 7/12
Total surface area = 16 + 1 7/12 or 17 7/12
