−2(6x+5)=74

Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2(6x+5)=74

−2 x 6x−2 x 5=74

−12x−10=74

Add 10 to both sides.

−12x−10=74

+10 +10

−12x=84

Divide both sides by -12.

−12x = 84

/−12 /-12

x=-7

hope it helps!

-2(6x+5)=74
-12x-10=74
-12x=84

X= -7

Arctan (√3 /3) = 30°. = π/6 rad

That is the value searched, in degrees and radians.

You can verifiy that tan(30°) = sin(30°) / cos(30°) = [1/2] / [√3/2] = 1/√3 = √3 / 3

help please! Darren is finding the equation in the form y = m x + b for a trend line that passes through the points (2, 18) and

andrezito [222]

Answer: d) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line passing through (a,b) and (c,d):

$(y-b)=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}(x-a)$

Equation of a line passing through (2, 18) and (–3, 8):

$(y-18)=\dfrac{8-18}{-3-2}(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y-18)=\dfrac{-10}{-5}(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y-18)=2(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-18=2x-4\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=2x-4+18\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=2x+14$
