Your trying to isolate the x and the number without x, so after taking 2x from the left side subtract it from 5x and then subtract the three from both sides as well. your answer is the next step is the 3

2x - 8 = 5x + 3
-2x        -2x
-8 = 3x + 3
-3          -3
-11 = 3x
/3      /3
-3.6666666667 = x

Knowing this, we can conclude that subtracting 3 is your answer.

Short leg = 18 Long leg= 24 Hypotenuse= 30 My calculations were simple trial and error. I started with a trial of 10 for the short leg to begin with, averaging and estimating the appropriate proportions based off 6 additional increments. Sorry I don't have an algebraic method for you. Hope this has helped somewhat :)

What's the slope of the line ? And explain please
tia_tia [17]
You take the difference between any two y and divide by the difference in the corresponding x. The number should be the same always for a straight line. That's your slope. A fancy way of writing it is dy/dx

so: (10-2)/(3-1) = 8/2 = 4 (using the first two points)
or: (26-2)/(7-1) = 24/6 = 4 (using the first and the last)

try it out for other combinations. The answer is 4 every time.
