Answer:

x = -4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for x, we need to get x alone. We do this by adding 5 to each side, then dividing both sides by -2. Like this:

-2x - 5 = 4

+5          +5

-2x = 9

÷ -2  ÷ -2

x = -4.5

I hope this helps! Please feel free to let me know if you need any more help. Have a great afternoon! :}

Answer:

x= -4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x - 5 = 4

-2x = 4+5

-2x = 9

-2x÷ (-2) = 9÷ (-2)

x= -9/2

x= -4.5

Answer:

  A

Step-by-step explanation:

When angles are between the parallel lines, they are called <em>interior</em>. If they are both on the same side of the transversal, they are "same-side interior."

If angles are on opposite sides of the transversal, they are <em>exterior</em>.

If angles are in the same direction from the intersection point, they are <em>corresponding</em>.

Angles in opposite directions from the point of intersection are <em>vertical</em> angles.

  same-side interior: {3, 5} and {4, 6}. (supplementary)

  same-side exterior: {1, 7} and {2, 8}. (supplementary)

  alternate interior: {3, 6} and {4, 5}. (congruent)

  alternate exterior: {1, 8} and {2, 7}. (congruent)

  corresponding: {1, 5}, {2, 6}, {3, 7}, {4, 8}. (congruent)

  vertical: {1, 4}, {2, 3}, {5, 8}, {6, 7}. (congruent)

Angles 6 and 4 are same-side interior angles; their sum is 180°.

You first have to plug in your given numbers to the equation.
d= rt
d=(52)4.5
Then you solve
52*4.5 = 234
So, your distance or d=234
