The 5 negatives simplify to one negative giving
-10x = -5
x = 0.5
You simplify a fraction by finding it's greatest common factor. A greatest common factor is what both numbers are divisible by. If they can both be divided by two, then you've simplified them a little bit. Keep going until you can't find a common number that can be divided by the two, and you've got your simplified fraction. For example, 10/5 = 1/2 since both 10 and 5 is divisible by 5.

Answer:
x can be any value (infinite number of solutions)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation simplifies to ...
2(x -2) +3 = 2x -1
2x -4 +3 = 2x -1
2x -1 = 2x -1
This is true for every value of x. There are an infinite number of solutions.
Answer:
P (6 , -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
point P : (6 , -3)
About 95% of rats weight is between 2.5+2 *standard deviation=2.5+2*0.5=2.5+1=3.5 and 2.5-1=1.5 (1.5,3.5).
About 68% of rats weight is between (2.5-1*standard deviation, 2.5+1*standard deviation), (2,3).
This means that about 68 percent of rats in the city weigh between 2 pounds and 3 pounds. (solution b)
