Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5x + 7 = 3x + -5

Reorder the terms:

7 + 5x = 3x + -5

Reorder the terms:

7 + 5x = -5 + 3x

Solving

7 + 5x = -5 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

7 + 5x + -3x = -5 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 5x + -3x = 2x

7 + 2x = -5 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

7 + 2x = -5 + 0

7 + 2x = -5

Add '-7' to each side of the equation.

7 + -7 + 2x = -5 + -7

Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0

0 + 2x = -5 + -7

2x = -5 + -7

Combine like terms: -5 + -7 = -12

2x = -12

Divide each side by '2'.

x = -6

Simplifying

x = -6

Jordan is cutting a 2 meter by 1 1/4 meter into two pieces by its diagonal line

Airida [17]

Question:

Jordan is cutting a 2 meter by $1\frac{1}{4}$ meter piece of rectangular paper into two pieces along its diagonal. what is the area of each of the pieces?

Answer:

Area of each piece of paper is $1 \frac{1}{4} \ m^2$ .

Solution:

Length of the paper = 2 m

Width of the paper = $1\frac{1}{4}$ m = $\frac{5}{4}$ m

Area of the rectangle = length × width

$$=2\times \frac{5}{4}$

$$= \frac{5}{2} \ m^2$

Diagonal of a rectangle divides it into two equal parts.

Area of each piece = Area of the rectangle ÷ 2

$$=\frac{ \frac{5}{2}}{2}$

$$=\frac{5}{4} \ m^2$

$$=1 \frac{1}{4} \ m^2$

Area of each piece of paper is $1 \frac{1}{4} \ m^2$ .
