Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

5( x + 7) - 3 ( x - 4) = 7x + 2

Distribute

5x+35 - 3x +12 = 7x +2

2x +47 = 7x+2

Subtract 2x from each side

2x+47-2x =7x -2x+2

47 = 5x+2

Subtract 2 from each side

47-2= 5x+2-2

45= 5x

Divide by 5

45/5 =5x/5

9 =x

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>→Distribute the 5 to (x + 7), Distribute the -3 to (x - 4):</u>

5(x + 7) - 3(x - 4) = 7x + 2

5x + 35 - 3x + 12 = 7x + 2

<u>→Add like terms:</u>

2x + 47 = 7x + 2

<u>→Subtract 2x from both sides:</u>

47 = 5x + 2

<u>→Subtract 2 from both sides:</u>

45 = 5x

<u>→Divide both sides by 5:</u>

9 = x

What is the equation of this line?<br> o y = -1/4x<br> o y = – 4x<br> o y = 1/4x<br> O y = 4x
Kitty [74]

Answer:

<h2>Its C. y = 1/4x</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the line. See where it attaches at one point and look where it attaches to another, for example, in this expression, it attaches to (0,0) and (4,-1). Then do rise over run, or y over x. This means to do this- y2 - y1 divided by x2 - x1. First, do -1 - 0. Its a double negative, so it becomes positive, thus making it 1 - 0, which is still 1. Then do 4 - 0, which is still 4. Divide 1 by 4, turn it to a fraction, and boom, you've got 1/4x.

Hope this helps!!!!![?][?][?]
