Recall the dot-product is just <a,b> • <c,d> => a*c + b*d.
therefore here is just 5*(-8) + 7* 2, or namely -26.
U just need to switch ig . Its always the least number first
The answer to that question will be 3
Multiply both sides by -8.
Then add the one to both side to cancel it out and get 7x by itself
Then divide the whole thing by 7. So it’ll look like this: 32+1=7x and then add the one then divide by 7
