Answer:

I hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3x + -1x + -5 = 2(x + 2) + -9

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 3x + -1x = 2(x + 2) + -9

Combine like terms: 3x + -1x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 2(x + 2) + -9

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 2x = 2(2 + x) + -9

-5 + 2x = (2 * 2 + x * 2) + -9

-5 + 2x = (4 + 2x) + -9

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 2x = 4 + -9 + 2x

Combine like terms: 4 + -9 = -5

-5 + 2x = -5 + 2x

Add '5' to each side of the equation.

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

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = -5 + 5 + 2x

2x = -5 + 5 + 2x

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

2x = 0 + 2x

2x = 2x

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

2x + -2x = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

0 = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

0 = 0

Solving

0 = 0

Couldn't find a variable to solve for.

This equation is an identity, all real numbers are solutions.

How do you write and equation of a linear function using two points
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the difference between the 2 points.

For example, (8, 9) (5, 3).

Compare the difference between the x's, in this case 8 and 5. The difference is 3. Do the same with the y's, 9 and 3. The difference is 6.

To find the slope, it's y/x. The slope in this situation is 6/3. Simplify. The slope is 2.

To find the y-intercept, insert the slope and one of the 2 points in the beginning into y = mx + b & solve for b.

For example, if we use the ordered pair (5, 3) the equation would look like:

3 = 2(5) + b, Solve for b.

Multiply. 3 = 10 + b

Get b by itself by adding - 10 to both sides.

-7 = b

The y-intercept is -7. So, in this case, the equation is y = 2x - 7.

HELP PLEASEEEEE<br><br><br> Combine like terms to simplify the expression:<br> 1.17-0.07a+(-3.92a)
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer: hope this helps


Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

1.17 + -0.07a + (-3.92a) = 0

Combine like terms: -0.07a + (-3.92a) = -3.99a

1.17 + -3.99a = 0

Solving

1.17 + -3.99a = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1.17' to each side of the equation.

1.17 + -1.17 + -3.99a = 0 + -1.17

Combine like terms: 1.17 + -1.17 = 0.00

0.00 + -3.99a = 0 + -1.17

-3.99a = 0 + -1.17

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.17 = -1.17

-3.99a = -1.17

Divide each side by '-3.99'.

a = 0.2932330827

Simplifying

a = 0.2932330827
