-5x - 8 = -18
-5x - 8 + 8 = -18 + 8
-5x = -10
-5x / (-5) = -10 / (-5)
x = 2

7x - 2(3x - 5) = 26

Reptile [31]

Answer:

x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

7x−2(3x−5)=26

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by 3x−5.

7x−6x+10=26

Combine 7x and −6x to get x.

x+10=26

Subtract 10 from both sides.

x=26−10

Subtract 10 from 26 to get 16.

x=16

What is the slope-intercept form for (1,6) and (2,5)

patriot [66]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{5-6}{2-1}\implies \cfrac{-1}{1}\implies -1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-6=-1(x-1) \\\\\\ y-6=-x+1\implies y=-x+7$
