Answer: x=5/3

Step-by-step explanation: -2x = x - 5

Subtract x from both sides.

−2x−x=−5

Simplify −2x−x to −3x−3x.

−3x=−5

Divide both sides by −3.

x=-5/-3

Two negatives make a positive.

x=5/3

In decimal form the answer is 1.666667

Hope this helps, also, have a blessed day!

Pick the expression that matches this description:

Katen [24]

Option C is correct because it is a trinomial with a leading coefficient of 3 and a constant term of -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to pick the expression that matches this description:

A trinomial with a leading coefficient of 3 and a constant term of -5

First lets explain the terms:

Trinomial: a polynomial having 3 terms

Leading coefficient: The constant value of variable having highest power

Constant term: Having no variable and value cannot be changed.

Now using these definitions, we can choose the correct option

Option A is incorrect because the expression has 2 terms

Option B is incorrect because it is a trinomial but the leading coefficient is -5 and not 3 constant term is 3 and not -5.

Option C is correct because it is a trinomial with a leading coefficient of 3 and a constant term of -5

Option D is incorrect because it is a trinomial but the leading coefficient is 3 but constant term is 1 and not -5.

So, Option C is correct.

Find the Equation of x(2x+5)-3(2x+5)=0

Nata [24]

2x² + 5x -6x - 15 = 0

2x² - x - 15 = 0

2x² -x = 15

x = 3

3 x 3 = 9 x 2 = 18 - 3 = 15

i really don't know how i got 3 in the first place but that is your answer

hope this helps

Need help. How do I do this

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula with the two points Q and P, then simplify and match the pattern of the answer.

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(b-0)^2+(-c-(-a))^2}\\\\\boxed{d=\sqrt{b^2+(-c+a)^2}}$

The value b goes in the green box.
