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

Point slope: y - y1 = m(x - x1), m is the slope

first picture

points (-4,-1) and (3,-3)
the slope between these points is

slope = (-3 - 1)/( 3 - (-4) ) = -2/7

if (x1, y1) = (-4, -1), then the slope-point form is

y + 1 = -2/7(x + 4)

___________

second picture (horizontal line)

from the graph, the slope is 0 because there is no rise for a horizontal line.
if (x1, y1) = (-2, 1), then the point slope form is

y - 1 = 0(x + 2)

_____________

third picture

from the graph, we have points (-2,2) and (2,-2) on the line. the slope is

slope = (-2 - 2)/(2 - (-2) ) = -1

if (x1, y1) = (-2,2), then point slope form is

y - 2 = -1(x + 2)

______________

fourth picture

if points (-2,-1) and (2,1) are on the graph, then slope is

slope = (1 - (-1) ) / (2 - (-2) ) = 1/2

with (x1, y1) = (-2,-1), the point slope form is

y + 1 = 1/2(x + 2)

_______________

fifth picture

we have points (-1,-2) and (1,2). the slope is

slope = (2 - (-2) ) / (1 - (-1) ) = 2

with (x1, y1) = (1,2), the point slope form is

y - 2 = 2(x - 1)

NEED ASAP
zloy xaker [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Write what you know

mean is: Sum of all data points / Number of data points

any unknown number we'll call x

so youd write

(x + $3191) / 2 = $4444

Solve for x

let me know if you need further help

54x+64 greater than or equal to 49x+59 <br> What is x
tekilochka [14]

We want to solve this:

54x + 64 ≥ 49x + 59

First, subtract 49x from both sides and you would get:

5x + 64 ≥ 59

Then subtract 64 from both sides:

5x ≥ -5

Divide both sides by 5:

x ≥ -1

HELP TRYING TO GET ON HONOR ROLL PLEASE HELP
Fynjy0 [20]

Brian was billed for 171 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Monthly fee of phone = $8

Charges per minute = 6 cents = $0.06

Last month bill of phone = $18.26

Let,

x be the minutes billed.

Therefore,

Monthly fee + 0.06*minutes = Total bill

8+0.06x=18.26\\0.06x=18.26-8\\0.06x=10.26

Dividing both sides by 0.06

\frac{0.06x}{0.06}=\frac{10.26}{0.06}\\x=171

Brian was billed for 171 minutes.

Write 2x+y=17<br> in slope-intercept form.
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: y = -2x +17

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

You are trying to make the equation look like that

So you subtract the 2x to the other side

Hope this helps! :)
