Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4x +2= -5/8x - 5

Add 5/8x to each side

1/4x +5/8x +2= -5/8x+5/8x - 5

1/4x+5/8x +2=  - 5

Subtract 2 from each side

1/4x+5/8x +2-2=  - 5-2

1/4x+5/8x =  - 7

Get a common denominator

1/4 *2/2 x + 5/8x = -7

2/8x + 5/8x = -7

7/8x = -7

Multiply each side by 8/7

8/7x * 7/8x = -7 *8/7

x = -8

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4x+2=-5/8x-5

find l.c.m=8

multiply through by l.c.m which is 8

x/4×8+2×8=-5x/8×8-5×8

2x+16=-5x-40

2x+5x=-40-16

7x=-56

divide both sides by 7

7x/7=-56/7

x=-8

How Do I do proofs for proving triangles?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
You must have been taught postulates and theorems that allow you to prove triangles congruent, such as SSS, SAS, ASA, etc. Look at the given information of a proof, and see how from the given information, using definitions, postulates, and theorems you have already learned, you can show pairs of corresponding sides and angles to be congruent that will fit into the above methods. Then use one of the methods to prove the triangles congruent.

Which of the following are solutions to the question below? Check all that apply.
AveGali [126]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x² - 2x + 36 = 5x² + 10x ( subtract 5x² + 10x from both sides )

x² - 12x + 36 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 6)² = 0 ← in factored form, thus

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6 → D
