Answer:
x = -13
Step-by-step explanation:
-5(x - 1) = -7(x + 3)
Distribute on both sides.
-5x + 5 = -7x - 21
Add 7x to both sides.
2x + 5 = -21
Subtract 5 from both sides.
2x = -26
Divide both sides by 2.
x = -13
He uses 15 gallons. Because 270/6 = 45. Meaning he drives 45 miles per gallon. So 675/45=15. 15 gallons he will need to use to drive 675 miles.
Answer:
If you use the addition property of equality, what number would you add to both sides of the equal sign to isolate the variable?
You would subtract 5/7 from both sides of the equation
What is the solution?
x = 26/7 or 3 and 5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5/7 = 31/7
Subtract 5/7 from both sides of the equation:
x + 5/7 - 5/7 = 31/7 - 5/7
x = 26/7
Hi there!
When the slopes of two perpendicular lines are multiplied the outcome will be -1.
The slope is the number that is positioned in front of the variable x in the formula. In this case the slope of the given line is -2/5.
Let's call the slope of the perpendicular line m and take into account the given data of the question and my earlier explanation. We then find the following:

Divide both sides by - 2/5.

The answer is B.
