What is the solution to the equation 5x + 2(x – 4) = 5x + x – 10? (1 point) 3 2 –2 –3

1 answer:

4 0

Hello!

You solve this algebraically

5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10

Distribute the 2

5x + 2x - 8 = 5x + x - 10

combine like terms

7x - 8 = 6x - 10

subtract 6x from both sides

x - 8 = -10

Add 8 to both sides

x = -2

The answer is -2

Hope this helps!

Consider the point (x,y) lying on the graph of the line 6x + 4y = 7. Let L be the distance from the point (x,y) to the origin
