-2x + 3x - 5 = 6 - 21 FIND x

Mathematics
1 answer:
trasher [3.6K]3 years ago
5 0

Before we do any solving, we need to simplify both sides.

On the left, we can simplify -2x + 3x - 5 to x - 5.

On the right, we can simplify 6 - 21 to -16.

So we have x - 5 = -16.

Solving from here, we add 5 to both sides to get x = -11.

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (2, 4) and (1, -3)?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

y = 7x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 3)

m = \frac{-3-4}{1-2} = \frac{-7}{-1} = 7, thus

y = 7x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (2, 4), then

4 = 14 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 14 = - 10

y = 7x - 10 ← equation of line
