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

Which equation supports the given conjecture?
Readme [11.4K]
The first part says the sum of the squares of two consecutive integers or in other words (x)(x)+(x+1)(x+1) so we can cross out A because 2 and 3 are prime numbers (no factors)  we can cross out all the others because the square root of 52 is not an integer so any equation with 52 in it does not satisfy the requirement. so none of them are corect.  additionally, some of the equations are obviously false such as 52+62=61
