You have used the Distributive Property to transform numerical expressions such as (5)(3) + (2)(3) to (5 + 2)(3). How would you

transform 5x + 2x into a single term? Substitute five different values into the expressions 5x + 2x and 7x - 1. What do you notice about the values of the expressions? Is there any value that would make the two expressions equal? Why or why not?

5x + 2x.....combine like terms..... = 7x

5x + 2x....subbing in 1                               7x - 1....subbing in 1
5(1) + 2(1) = 5 + 2 = 7                               7(1) - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6

5x + 2x...subbing in 2                                 7x - 1...subbing in 2
5(2) + 2(2) = 10 + 4 = 14                            7(2) - 1 = 14 - 1 = 13

5x + 2x...subbing in 3                                 7x - 1...subbing in 3
5(3) + 2(3) = 15 + 6 = 21                            7(3) - 1 = 21 - 1 = 20

5x + 2x...subbing in 4                                 7x - 1....subbing in 4
5(4) + 2(4) = 20 + 8 = 28                            7(4) - 1 = 28 - 1 = 27

5x + 2x...subbing in 5                                 7x - 1...subbing in 5
5(5) + 2(5) = 25 + 10 = 35                          7(5) - 1 = 35 - 1 = 34


5x + 2x result values are 1 more then 7x - 1 result values
there are no values that will make the 2 expressions equal....
because 5x + 2x = 7x......and the other one is 7x - 1......so the 7x - 1 values will always be 1 number less...because ur subtracting one

Answer:

x< -1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

-12x+13>35

We leave the variable alone passing the 13 with opposite sign to the other side and subtracting it from 35.

-12x>22

We divide both by the variable, -12x, and it gives x > -1.8. Since the sign of x changed, we flip the sign and the final result is x < -1.8

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 8x + 5?
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

-\frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

m= slope (rise over run)

The slope of y=8x+5 is \frac{8}{1}

When a line is perpendicular, the slope is the opposite reciprocal.

\frac{8}{1} would be flipped to -\frac{1}{8}
