Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable (x). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS = Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

First, subtract 5 from both sides

5x + 5 = 0

5x + 5 (-5) = 0 (-5)

5x = 0 - 5

5x = -5

Next, divide 5 from both sides

(5x)/5 = (-5)/5

x = -5/5

x = -1

-1 is your answer for x.

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 5 = 0

Subtract 5 from each side

5x+5-5 = 0-5

5x = -5

Divide by 5 on each side

5x/5 = -5/5

x = -1

Which mathematical equation represents the solution for k in the equation h + 3 = jk + 6k ?

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The answer is<u> D.</u> h+3/j+6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equation h + 3 = jk + 6k.

Now, to get the mathematical expression.

$h + 3 = jk + 6k$

So, taking $k$ common on R.H.S we get:

$h + 3 = k(j + 6)$

Then, dividing both sides by $j+6$ we get:

$\frac{h+3}{j+6} =k$

Thus,

$k=\frac{h+3}{j+6}$

Therefore, the answer is D. h+3/j+6.
