<u><em>Answer: x<-6 *The answer should be the negative sign.*</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

subtract 5 both sides of an equation.

5-2x-5>17-5

simplify.

-2x>12

multiply by -1 both sides of an equation.

(-2x)(-1)<12(-1)

simplify.

2x<-12

divide by 2 both sides of an equation.

2x/2<-12/2

-12/2=-6

12/2=6

6*2=12

12/6=2

x<-6

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

I need help with a math question but apparently everyone is dead today..
Gwar [14]
The answer is D. I’m assuming this is surface area so here’s my explanation:) ok so the area of the triangle is 6 (4x3 divided by 2) and when you add the other triangle that’s 12. Ok so we have 12 so far. Then the area of the bottom rectangle is 24 (3x8). Then the area of the side rectangle is 32 (4x8). THEN the top rectangle’s area is 40 (8x5). When you add the numbers up (12+24+32+40) you get 108! And of course dont forget the cm2. ( centimeters squared ). :) I hope this helps

4. Find x if PQ = RS,<br> PQ = 9x - 7, and RS = 29.
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we know that PQ = RS, we can use the transitive property to replace PQ in the first equation with 29:

9x-7=29

1) Add 7 to both sides:

9x=36

2) divide by 9 on both sides:

x=4

Jim and Mark start at the same place jim walks 15ft West and Mark Walks 12 feet North how far apart are the boys when they finis
r-ruslan [8.4K]
The two points where they end and the point where they start form a right triangle, one leg is 12, the other leg is 15, you need to find the hypotenuse.
use the Pythagorean theorem: 12²+15²=c²
c≈19
they are about 19 feet apart.
