Answer:
x=8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+2(x-3)=-2(x-1)
1) Distribute 2 to x and -3:
5x+2x-6=-2(x-1)
2) Distribute -2 to x and -1:
5x+2x-6=-2x+2
3) Combine alike terms:
7x-6=-2x+2
4) Add 2x to both sides:
9x-6=2
5) Add 6 to both sides:
9x=8
6) Divide both sides by 9:
x=8/9
Answer:
7x-6=-2x-2 or 5x=4 (depending on how much you have to simplify)

x= sqrt{2(w-y)}
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 = 0.75
-1 = 1.5
0 = 3
1 = 6
2 = 12
Apply substitution
x+4(-2x-4)=19
x – 8x – 16 = 19
-7x = 19 + 16
-7x = 35
x = -5
Then substitute this value to the other equation
y=-2x-4
y = -2(-5) – 4
y = 10 – 4
y = 6
the answer is then letter A. (-5,6)
