Step-by-step explanation:

x + 6 = 2x - 8

1. Subtract 2x from both sides

x - 2x + 6 = 2x - 2x - 8

2. Simplify

-x + 6 = -8

3. Now, subtract 6 from both sides

-x + 6 - 6 = -8 - 6

4. Simplify

-x = -14

5. Divide both sides by -1 because you would want the x by itself instead of having -x

-1x/-1 = -14/-1

6. Simplify

x = 14 <------ Answer

Hope that helped!!

Rationalise the denominator <br>

Margaret [11]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $\frac{2 \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{5} }$

multiply

$\sqrt{5}$

do both the numerator and denominater

$\frac{2 \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{5} } \times \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ \sqrt{5} } = \frac{2 \sqrt{15} }{ \sqrt{25} } = \frac{2 \sqrt{15} }{5}$

A fivey sequence is a sequence of positive integers which adds up to 5. For example, 2, 2, 1 and 2, 1, 2 are two different fivey

vlabodo [156]

The total number of possible fivey sequences are; 6

<h3>How to solve a sequence?</h3>

We are told we are dealing with a fivey sequence which means that all the terms of the sequence must be positive integers and they must add up to 5.

Now, the possible numbers that can be used are;

1, 2 and 3.

If we start with 3, number of possible sequences is; 1

If we start with1, number of possible sequences is; 3 ways

If we start with 2, number of possible sequences is; 2 ways

Thus;

Total number of fivey sequences is 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 possible sequences

Question 13

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

y - 7 = (x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Slope(m) = 1

Point: (-5, 7) = (x1, y1)

To write the equation in point-slope form, we need to know the slope and one point. Since we were already given the values of the slope and one point, all we have to do is input those values into the equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 7 = 1(x - (-5))

y - 7 = (x + 5)

The equation in point-slope form is: y - 7 = (x + 5)
