Answer:

X=4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you add like terms, in this case 5x and x. Then you have 6x-1=23. You then add 1 from both sides so you end up with 6x=24. This then results in X=4

X - 1 + 5x = 23 (original equation)
x + 5x = 24 (add 1 to both sides)
x + x = 4.8 (divide 5 by both sides)
2x = 4.8 (combine the x’s)
x = 2.4 (divide 2 by both sides) (answer)

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, with m being the slope and be being the y intercept, so when you look for what b is in the equation for y=-3x+6 then 6 is b.

M is the centroid (center of gravity) of △ABC, line k goes thru M and intersects AB and AC . The distances of the vertices B and

lana [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of BC will be a distance from line k that is the average of the distances of B and C: (17+13)/2 = 15. Call that midpoint P. We know distance MP is half of distance MA. This same relationship will hold with respect to the distances from P and A to any line through M. That is, the distance from line k (through M) is twice the distance from P to line k: 30 units.

What is the solution to this equation?

Fantom [35]

Answer:

x=-17

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Equation;

x+12=-5

The 12 will cross the equal sign so it will become -12. So it's going to be;

x=-5-12

There are two negative number so you add them and when you add them it would still be negative. And you would have to add them because when there are two negative numbers without any other sign you will have to add so it's going to be;

x=-17

This is the final answer!!!
