Answer:
What's the question? I'll try to help you if I know the question.
If the slope is 5 perpendicular would be -1/5 just flip the slope around
I would assume it would be dividing both sides by three although if someone were to actually solve this I would say multiply 2 and 3 together first.
Hope this helps :)
So say for example u have -7 - (-5), think of subtracting integers as adding the opposite, so ur adding the opposite of -5, the opposite of -5 is 5, so ur adding -7 and 5= -2
another one: -15 - (-18)
again, adding the opposite. -15 plus positive 18= 3
Here's how to find the value of x:
<span>9 - 0.75 ( x + 8 ) - 5 = -6.5 find the difference of 9 - 0.75
</span><span>8.25 ( x + 8 ) - 5 = -6.5 add 5 to both sides
</span>
8.25 ( x + 8 ) = -1.5 distribute 8.25 to x and 8
8.25x + 66 = -1.5 subtract 66 from both sides
8.25x = -67.5 divide both sides by 8.25
x = 18.18181818...... the value of x is 18 2/11
hope this helps
