Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2 = 12

Subtract 2 from both sides

5x + 2 - 2 = 12 - 2

Simplifying

5x = 10

Divide both sides by 5

5x / 5 = 10/5

Simplifying

x = 2

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You are solving for the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS, and isolate the variable.

First, subtract 2 from both sides.

5x + 2 = 12

5x + 2 (-2) = 12 (-2)

5x = 12 - 2

5x = 10

Isolate the variable, x. Divide 5 from both sides.

(5x)/5 = (10)/5

x = 10/5

x = 2

x = 2 is your answer.

What is the quotient a-3/7÷3-a/21
Airida [17]
I wish you were using parentheses here.  I must assume (without knowing for sure) that y ou mean

a - 3/7
----------
3 - a/21

The LCD here is 21, since 7 divides into 21 without a remainder. 

Thus, multiply numerator and denominator by 21:


21a - 9
-----------
63 - a

You could leave this result as is, or you could factor out 3:
    
     7a-3
3 ---------
    63-a

Two angles of a triangle measure 15° and 85°. What is the measure for the third angle
andrezito [222]

Answer: 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°. Since the two angles of a triangle measure 15° and 85°.

The measure for the third angle will be:

= 180° - (15° + 85°)

= 180° - 100°

= 80°

The third angle is 80°

What is the domain and range of the function f(x) = x^2 -4x-5?
Tems11 [23]
F(x) = x²-4x-5, quadratic function,  
Domain (the values if x) is all real numbers.

To find range we should draw a graph or to write an equation in vertex form.
f(x) = x²-4x+4-4-5
f(x) = (x-2)²-9
Point (-2,-9) is the vertex of the parabola, and it is a minimum because a parabola has positive sign in front of x², so it is looking up.  Minimum value of y =-9
Range(the values of y) is [-9, ∞)
