its definitely -2.5........
To do this, change into common denominators. The common denominator is 21 so change the problem from 1/3 + 1/7 to 7/21 + 3/21. This gives you 10/21. It is already in simplest form.
The area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying the base and the height, then dividing that value by 2.

Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4x +2= -5/8x - 5
Add 5/8x to each side
1/4x +5/8x +2= -5/8x+5/8x - 5
1/4x+5/8x +2= - 5
Subtract 2 from each side
1/4x+5/8x +2-2= - 5-2
1/4x+5/8x = - 7
Get a common denominator
1/4 *2/2 x + 5/8x = -7
2/8x + 5/8x = -7
7/8x = -7
Multiply each side by 8/7
8/7x * 7/8x = -7 *8/7
x = -8
