Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

5(x - 8) = 20

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Divide 5 on both sides:                     x - 8 = 4
  2. Add 8 on both sides:                         x = 12

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    5(12 - 8) = 20
  2. Subtract:                              5(4) = 20
  3. Multiply:                               20 = 20

Here we see that 20 does indeed equal 20.

∴ x = 12 is a solution to the equation.

Answer:

The Answer is P = (-2.5 , 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the point is P(x,y)

then, x=\frac{m_{1}x_{2}+ m_{2}x_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}

     =>x=\frac{5*(-1)+ 3*(-5)}{5+3}

     ∴x=-2.5

Again, y=\frac{m_{1}y_{2}+ m_{2}y_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}

     =>y=\frac{5*7+ 3*(-9)}{5+3}

     ∴y=1

Thus, P = (-2.5 , 1 )
