Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

to evaluate for x in this this question -5x-(8-x)=12

the firsst step, you would open the bracket with - then evaluate for the value of x

solution

-5x-(8-x)=12

-5x -8 + x = 12

combine the like terms

-5x + x = 12 + 8

-4x = 20

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

-4x/-4 = 20/-4

x = -5

Answer:

$y-4=\frac{1}{5}(x-7)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of a line is given by:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Where

(x_1,y_1) is the coordinate pair (any of the points given)

m is the slope. The ratio of change in y coordinates by x coordinates

Let's calculate the slope:

$m=\frac{4-3}{7-2}\\m=\frac{1}{5}$

Now, it is given "y - 4", so y_1 is 4, so they are using the coordinate pair (7,4). So we can say x_1 = 7

Now we have all the values, lets write the equation:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-4=\frac{1}{5}(x-7)$

This is the point-slope form.
