Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

expanding the bracket, we would have

-2x -18 = -x+1+2

-2x+x= 3 +18

-x=21

x=-21

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

−2(x+9)=−1(x+−1)+2

Use distributive property

-2x - 18 = -1x + 1 +2

-2x - 18 = -1x + 3

      +18         +18

-2x = -1x +21

+1x    +1x

___________

-x = 21

we need to have a positive x so multiply x by -1. -x times -1 = x

What we do on the left side has to happen to the right side too

So, 21 times -1 = -21

Therefore, x = -21

Hope this helps :)

PLEASE HELP

Try substituting some values in, and you will get your answer.

I'll do the first two.

y = (0) + 4 [=4]
y = (2) + 4 [=6]

In the table, the first two values for y are 6 and 8.
The first two values for y = x + 4 are 4 and 6.

Therefore, we can assume that the rate of change in the function y = x + 4 is less than the rate of change of the function represented in the table.

What is -3x+13=16 help me with each step.
hoa [83]

-3x+13=16

Move +13 to the other side. Sign changes from +13 to -13.

-3x+13-13=16-13

-3x=16-13

-3x=3

Divide by -3 for both sides.

-3/-3x=3/-3

Cross out -3 and -3, divide by -3, then becomes 1*1*x=x

x=-1

Answer: x=-1

A. find the value of a. B. Find the value of the marked angles.
Marat540 [252]

The marked angles are opposite angles, and as such they have the same measure. So, we have

6a+11 = 2a+83

Subtract 2a and 11 from both sides to get

4a = 72

Divide both sides by 4 to get

a = \dfrac{72}{4} = 18

Now that we know the value of a, we can compute the measure of the angles. We can also verify that the solution we found is correct by verifying that both expressions actually give the same result:

6a+11 = 6\cdot 18 + 11 = 119

2a+83 = 2\cdot 18 + 83 = 119
