Solve -5x - 10 = 2 -(x + 4)

1. First distribute the negative (-)

-5x - 10 = 2 - x - 4

2. Simplify,

-5x - 10 = -2 - x

3. Then, add x to both sides

-5x + x - 10 = -2 - x + x

4. Simplify,

-4x - 10 = -2

5. Then add 10 to both sides

-4x - 10 + 10 = -2 + 10

6. Simplify,

-4x = 8

7. Then, divide both sides by -4

-4x/-4 = 8/-4

8. Simplify,

x = -2 <======= Answer

Hope this helped!!!

Answer:

3) $y=\dfrac35x+\dfrac25$

4) a) $y=-2x+7$

b) $y=\dfrac12x+\dfrac92$

Step-by-step explanation:

Exercise 3

$-3x + 5y = 2$

$\implies 5y = 3x + 2$

$\implies y=\dfrac35x+\dfrac25$

Exercise 4

a) If L2 is parallel to L1, it has the same slope (gradient) ⇒ $m = -2$

If L2 passes through point (3, 1):

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$\implies y-1=-2(x-3)$

$\implies y=-2x+7$

So L2 = L1

b) If L3 is perpendicular to L1, then the slope of L3 is the negative reciprocals of the slope of L1 ⇒ $m = \dfrac12$

If L3 passes through point (-5, 2):

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$\implies y-2=\dfrac12(x+5)$

$\implies y=\dfrac12x+\dfrac92$
