Answer:

No -5 is not the solution, But x =-3 is the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

6x+5= 5x+8+2x

We need to find the solution for above equation we get;

Solution:

Now when we put the value of x =-5 we get

6x+5 =5x+8+2x\\\\6\times-5+5 = 5\times-5+8+2\times-5\\\\-30+5 = -25+8-10\\\\-25\neq -27

hence -5 is not the Solution for given equation.

On Solving the above equation we get;

6x+5 =7x+8

Now Combining the like terms we get;

7x-6x =5-8

Now Using Subtraction property we get;

x = -3

Hence The solution to equation is -3.

Triangle JKL is mapped to Triangle MNQ by two rigid transformations. Vertex L to vertex Q translation is the first. a rotation about point L is the second transformation. Option A is correct.

<h3>What is the triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It is one of the most fundamental geometric forms.

Two rigid transformations are used to map Triangle JKL to Triangle MNQ. The first is a translation of vertex L to vertex Q.

The second transformation is a rotation about point L.

Hence option A is correct.

ASAP! A biologist is to set up an aquarium in his laboratory. He intends to buy 11 piranhas and 5 sharks. He has a budget of £20
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

p = (200 -5s)/11

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you meant p is the price of piranhas, and a is the price of one shark.

You have:

11p + 5s = 200

11p = 200 - 5s

p = (200-5s)/11

Does that help? ;)

What is −10x + 1 + 7x = 37
seropon [69]

Answer:

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

−10x + 1 + 7x = 37

Combine like terms

-3x+1 = 37

Subtract 1 from each side

-3x +1-1 = 37-1

-3x = 36

Divide each side by -3

-3x/-3 = 36/-3

x = -12
