Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(x+5)=4

open the bracket with -2

-2x - 10 = 4

combine the like terms

-2x = 4 + 10

-2x = 14

divide by -2

-2x/-2 = 14/-2

x = -7

Answer:

<u>-7</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify both sides.

−2(x+5)=4

(−2)(x)+(−2)(5)=4

−2x+−10=4

−2x−10=4

Then add 10 to both sides.

−2x−10+10=4+10

−2x=14

Finally divide both sides by -2.

−2x/ −2  =  14/ −2 = -7

<u>Answer: -7</u>

How do you get the answer for 7 5/6 + 2 3/6
Blizzard [7]
First you would add 5/6 and 3/6 which would be 8/6. Next you would convert the improper fraction (8/6) into a mixed number which would be 1 2/6. Now just add 7 and 2 which is 9. Finally you would add the whole number and the mixed number. So your answer is 10 2/6 unless the instructions say to simplify then your answer would be 10 1/3.

What is the slope? What is the y-intercept? What is the equation of the line (slope intercept form?)
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

                The slope is: m = -²/₅

               The y-intercept is:  b = -2

               The equation of the line: y = -²/₅x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

  The equation of a line in slope intercept form: y = mx + b

The slope:   m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

(-5, 0)   ⇒  x₁ = -5,  y₁ = 0

(0, -2)   ⇒  x₂ = 0,  y₂ = -2

So:

     m=\dfrac{-2-0}{0-(-5)}=-\dfrac25

Two trains leave New York at the same time heading in opposite directions. Train A travels at 4/5 the speed of train one. After
grandymaker [24]
<h3>Answer:  </h3><h3>speed of train A = 44 mph</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

x = speed of train A

y = speed of train B

"train A travels 4/5 the speed of train B" (I'm assuming "train one" is supposed to read "train B"). So this means x = (4/5)y

distance = rate*time

d = x*7

d = (4/5)y*7 = (28/5)y represents the distance train A travels

d = y*7 = 7y represents the distance train B travels

summing those distances will give us 693

(28/5)y + 7y = 693

5*(  (28/5)y + 7y ) = 5*693

28y + 35y = 3465

63y = 3465

y = 3465/63

y = 55

Train B's speed is 55 mph

4/5 of that is (4/5)y = (4/5)*55 = 4*11 = 44 mph

Train A's speed is 44 mph
