You need to distribute the numerical factors for each term in the parenthesis:

\dfrac{-1}{5}(5x+20)-\dfrac{1}{4}(4x-28) = \dfrac{-1}{5}\cdot 5x + \dfrac{-1}{5}\cdot 20 + \dfrac{-1}{4} \cdot 4x + \dfrac{-1}{4} \cdot (-28)

This equals

-x-4-x+7 = -2x+3

Find the value of x in x + y= 9 and x - y= 3.<br> 6<br> -6<br> 3<br> -3
olga2289 [7]

x + y= 9 and x - y= 3

rearrange the second equation:

x - y= 3

x = 3 + y

x -3 = y

substitute y with "x-3" in the first equation and solve

x + y= 9

x + (x-3)= 9

2x -3 = 9

2x = 12

x = 6

you could also start with the first equation and substitute y in the second.

graphically speaking, it's the intersection point of to lines, at least the six-part of the point.

Use the number line below, where RS = 4y + 2, ST = 3y + 7, and RT = 44.
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

RT = RS + ST

44 = 4y + 2 + 3y + 7

44 -2 -7 = 7y

35 = 7y

y = 5

Which series of transformations results in the image being congruent to the pre-image?
erik [133]
For the element to be congruent only rotations, reflections or translations are allowed to be applied
1)
(x, y) → (x, –y)=reflection
(x, y) → (x + 5, y)=translation
(x, y) → (–x, y)=reflection
->is congruent
2)
(x, y) → (x + 1, y)=translation
(x, y) → (–x, –y)=reflection
(x, y) → (2x, y)=scaling->can't be congruent
3)
(x, y) → (0.5x, 0.5y)=scaling->can't be congruent
(x, y) → (x, –y)
(x, y) → (x, y + 8)
4)
(x, y) → (x – 4, y)=translation
(x, y) → (x, y + 3)=translation
(x, y) → (3x, 3y)=scaling->can't be congruent

so 1) is the only series of transformations with a congruent solution
