7(5)-12(5)-5=-45+15
-30 = -30
answer= B. x=5
THE PERSON BELOW ME OR ABOVE ME IS CORRECT
Answer is 150/x see photo for solution
-2 -13.8x = -8 -6x -1
First, I distributed the negative 1 that was outside of the parentheses to the positive 6x and the positive 1.
-2 -13.8x = -9 -6x
Then I added the negative 8 to the negative 1 which equals negative 9.
-2 -13.8x +6x = -9 -6x +6x
After that I used the addition property and added a positive 6x to both sides.
-2 -7.8x = -9
Then simplifying.
+2 -2 -7.8x = -9 +2
After simplifying, I used the addition property again, adding a positive 2 to both sides.
-7.8x = -7
Simplified.
-7.8x (-1) = -7 (-1)
Then I multiplied both sides by with a negative 1 since the variable cannot be a negative.
7.8x = 7
Simplified
(1/7.8) 7.8x = (1/7.8) 7
Then, to isolate the veriable, I multiplied 1/7.8 to both sides.
x = 1.11428571429
The answer !
I hope this helped !
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial value is another name for the y-intercept. This equation is written in point slope form (y=mx+b). And before you think y-intercept means y, right? No that is incorrect, I got that wrong in the beginning too ;)
y=mx+b
y=8x+7
b in the point slope form equation is always the initial value or y-intercept or whatever people call it. So what substitutes b out here? 7. So 7 is the initial value!
:) Hope you understand now! Have a good day!
