Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 1)=2(x - 1)

3x + 3 = 2x - 2

3x - 2x = -2 - 3

x = -5

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 1)=2(x - 1)

first u distribute

3x+3=2x-3

now u can either add or subtract 3 from both sides, i am going to add

3x+3+3 =2x-5+5

3x+6 = 2x

now u subtract 3x

3x-3x+5 = 2x-3x

5= -1x

now divide both sides by -1

x=-5

Which pair of slopes represent perpendicular lines?

Artist 52 [7]

The correct answer is C.

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes. This mean you will flip the original number upside down, and change its sign (negative to positive and vice versa). So, the opposite of -1/4 will be 4.

Question 2 please fas

Len [333]

Answer:

a = 3, b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that both the polynomials are equal.

Therefore, h(x) = k(x)

${x}^{3} + (a + b) {x}^{2} - 4x + 2 \\ = {x}^{3} + 5 {x}^{2} - (2a - b)x + 2 \\ \\ equating \: like \: terms \: on \: both \: sides \\ (a + b) {x}^{2} = 5 {x}^{2} \\ \implies \: a + b = 5.....(1) \\ \\ - (2a - b)x = - 4x \\ 2a - b = 4....(2) \\ \\ adding \: equations \: (1) \: and \: (2) \\ \\ 3a = 9 \\ \implies \: a = \frac{9}{3} \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{\implies \: a = 3}} \\ \\ substituting \: a = 3 \: in \: equation \: (1) \\ 3 + b = 5 \\ \implies \: b = 5 - 3 \\ \huge \purple{ \boxed{ \implies b = 2}}$
