Answer:

x = -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-6.2 - 12.6x = 5.8 - 7.8x

Step 2: Solve for x

Add 12.6x on both sides: -6.2 = 5.8 + 4.8x

Subtract 5.8 on both sides: -12 = 4.8x

Divide both sides by 4.8: x = -2.5

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify if it's a solution.

-6.2 - 12.6(-2.5) = 5.8 - 7.8(-2.5)

-6.2 + 31.5 = 5.8 + 19.5

25.3 = 25.3

find the equation of a line that is parallel to the straight line 2x-y=-3 and crosses the x-axis at x=-5

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

y=2x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

In line equations its helpful to write your line in the form y = ax + b. This helps because a is always the gadient of the line and b is always the y intercept.

In this case it is y=2x+3

All parallel lines have the same gradient. The gradient of this line = 2.

If the line crosses the x axis at x=-5, then when x =-5 y = 0.

If you put all this in the form y =ax + b you get 0 = 2(-5) +b

So all you need to do to find b is rearrange. b = 10.

Therefore your line has gradient 2 and y intercept 10.

y = 2x + 10

Rationalize the denominator, then simplify 10/sqrt2

kupik [55]

Answer:

$5\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To rationalize the denominator, you need to multiply the numerator and denominator by the radical in the denominator (aka. a factor of 1):

$\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}*\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$5\sqrt{2}$
