By rearranging your terms! 

1) First, remove the parentheses. 
2x+5+3x-12

2) Next rearrange like terms together
2x+3x+5+(-12)

3) Now combine like terms!
2x+3x= 5x
5 +(-12)= -7 

4) Final answer: 5x+(-7)

<span>Simplifying 2x + 5 + -3x = 12 Reorder the terms: 5 + 2x + -3x = 12 Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x 5 + -1x = 12 Solving 5 + -1x = 12 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
 Add '-5' to each side of the equation. 5 + -5 + -1x = 12 + -5
 Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0 0 + -1x = 12 + -5 -1x = 12 + -5
 Combine like terms: 12 + -5 = 7 -1x = 7
  Divide each side by '-1'. x = -7
 
Simplifying x = -7</span>

Anna [14]

Answer:

f(x)= 3x-4

f(-1)= 3*-1-4

f(-1)= 2-4

f(-1)= -2

f(x)= 3x-4

f(3)= 3*3-4

f(3)= 9-4

f(3)=5

f(x)= 3x-4

f(1)= 3*1-4

f(1)= 3-4

f(1)= -1

Hunter is bisecting the angle shown. When drawing the arcs centered on points P and Q, why must he keep the compass the same wid
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The arcs are drawn to find a point on the bisecting ray. If the arcs are the same width, it makes sure that they are equidistant from the points on the rays of the angle. This causes the point to be on the bisecting ray.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bisection of an angle implies dividing the angle into two equal parts. The ray that divides the angle is called a bisector.

The hunter should use the same radius or width to draw the two arcs, using points P and Q as the center interchangeably, so that they would intersect at an equidistant point to P and Q. The point of intersection lies on the bisecting ray of the angle.
