What is the second step to solving 5-8x<2x+3

1 answer:

The second step is to collect like terms:
-8x-2x<3-5
Then just solve:
-10x<-2
Get x by itself by dividing 10 to both sides:
10x/10> 2/10
Remember to switch to the signs since you started with < you go to >. Also remember to simply if you can(: so your answer would be
X>1/5

What is the value of k in the following equation?<br> 2(4k + 5) + 3(3 – 3k) = 25

Naddik [55]

Answer:

K = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2(4k+5)+3(3−3k)=25

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(4k+5)+3(3−3k)=25

(2)(4k)+(2)(5)+(3)(3)+(3)(−3k)=25(Distribute)

8k+10+9+−9k=25

(8k+−9k)+(10+9)=25(Combine Like Terms)

−k+19=25

−k+19=25

Step 2: Subtract 19 from both sides.

−k+19−19=25−19

−k=6

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

PLEASE HELP I DO NOT UNDERSTAND AT ALL AND SHOW YOUR WORK !!

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

y intercept (-6,0), x-intercept (0,-8) : $y = \frac{-4}{3}x -8$

y intercept (0,-6), x-intercept (-2,0): $y = -3x -6$

y intercept (0,8), x-intercept (1.6,0): $y = -5x + 8$

y intercept (0,7), x-intercept (-1.4,0): $y = 5x + 7$

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

*note: b is the y intercept

<u>1. y intercept (-6,0), x-intercept (0,-8)</u>

$m = \frac{-8 - 0}{0 - (-6)}= \frac{-8}{6} = \frac{-4}{3}\\y = \frac{-4}{3}x + b\\y = \frac{-4}{3}x -8$

<u>2.y intercept (0,-6), x-intercept (-2,0)</u>

<u /> $m = \frac{0 - (-6)}{-2 - 0} = \frac{6}{-2} = -3\\y = -3x + b \\y = -3x -6$ <u />

<u>3. y intercept (0,8), x-intercept (1.6,0)</u>

<u /> $m = \frac{0 - 8}{1.6 - 0}= \frac{-8}{1.6} = -5\\y = -5x + b\\y = -5x + 8$ <u />

<u>4. y intercept (0,7), x-intercept (-1.4,0)</u>

<u /> $m = \frac{0 - 7}{-1.4 - 0} = \frac{-7}{-1.4}= 5 \\y = 5x + b\\y = 5x + 7$ <u />
