Answer:

x=  3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x−2(x+1)= 1 /4

5x+(−2)(x)+(−2)(1)= 1 /4

(Distribute)

5x+−2x+−2= 1 /4

(5x+−2x)+(−2)= 1 /4

(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−2= 1 /4

3x−2=1 /4

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

3x−2+2= 1 /4 +2

3x= 9 /4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/ 3 = 9 /4 /3

x= 3 /4

5x-2(x+1)=1/4
5x-2x-2=1/4
3x-2=1/4
3x=2 1/4
3x=9/4
3x/3=(9/4)/3
x=(9/4)(1/3)
x=9/12
x=3/4

Please help me!!!!!!!!!
Serga [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume we are finding the slope of the line.  It is positive since it runs from the lower left to the upper right, so forget B and D.  Since slope is defined as rise over run, in order to get from one point on the line that goes through right where the grids meet to another point that goes through right where the grids meet we count up 1 unit and then to the right 6 units.  This is a slope of 1/6.
