Solve for x 2 ( x − 5 ) = 6 x − ( x − 8 )

Mathematics
1 answer:
fredd [130]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(x−5)=6x−(x−8)

2(x−5)=6x+−1(x−8) (Distribute the Negative Sign)

2(x−5)=6x+−1x+(−1)(−8)

2(x−5)=6x+−x+8

(2)(x)+(2)(−5)=6x+−x+8 (Distribute)

2x+−10=6x+−x+8

2x−10=(6x+−x)+(8) (Combine Like Terms)

2x−10=5x+8

2x−10=5x+8

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

2x−10−5x=5x+8−5x

−3x−10=8

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.

−3x−10+10=8+10

−3x=18

Step 4: Divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

18

−3

x=−6

Answer:

x=−6

2. Each of the following lines has a slope that can be determined by examining the graph. Use another point
Natali [406]

The slope, y-intercept and the equation of the following graph are as follows:

1(a)

slope : 1

y-intercept: 2

Equation: y = x + 2

(b)

slope : -  1 / 3

y-intercept: - 1

Equation: y = - 1 / 3x - 1

2.

(a)

slope : 3 / 4

y-intercept: 5 / 4

Equation: y = 3 / 4 x + 5 / 4

(b)

slope : - 3 / 2

y-intercept: 1 / 2

Equation: y = - 3 / 2 x + 1 / 2  

<h3 />

<h3>Slope intercept equation</h3>
  • y = mx + b

where

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Therefore lets find the slope, y-intercept and equation of the following graph.

1.

(a)

(0, 2)(1, 3)

m = 3 - 2 / 1 - 0 = 1

b = 2

y = x + 2

(b)

(0, -1)(-3, 0)

m = 0 + 1 / -3 - 0 = - 1 / 3

b = -1

y = - 1 / 3x - 1

2.

(a)

(1, 2)(-3, -1)

m = -1 - 2 / -3 - 1 = 3 / 4

2 = 3 / 4 (1) + b

b = 2 - 3 / 4  = 5 / 4

y = 3 / 4 x + 5 / 4

3.

(b)

(-3, 5)(1, -1)

m = - 1 - 5 / 1 + 3 = - 6 / 4 = - 3 / 2

-1 = - 3 /2 (1) + b

b = -1 + 3 / 2 = 1 /2

y = - 3 / 2 x + 1 / 2
