Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−6x=5x+22
Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.
−6x−5x=5x+22−5x
−11x=22
Step 2: Divide both sides by -11.
−11x
−11
=
22
−11
x=−2
It can be a fraction, a decimal, a mixed number, or any irrational number.
Answer:
Priya is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Priya is right because of the plus sign. When its adding you should always subtract from both sides but when you have the subtraction side you have to add to both sides.
<h3>Answer: Choice B) </h3><h3>-6x - 2y = 12</h3>
===============================================
Explanation:
The x intercept is (-2,0) which is where the graph crosses the x axis.
The y intercept is (0,-6) which is where the graph crosses the y axis.
-----
Find the slope of the line through those two points
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-6-0)/(0-(-2))
m = (-6-0)/(0+2)
m = -6/2
m = -3
-----
The y intercept (0,-6) leads to b = -6
Both m = -3 and b = -6 plug into y = mx+b to get
y = mx+b
y = -3x+(-6)
y = -3x-6
-----
Now add 3x to both sides
y = -3x-6
y+3x = -3x-6+3x
3x+y = -6
-----
Lastly, multiply both sides by -2 so that the "-6" on the right hand side turns into "12" (each answer choice has 12 on the right hand side)
3x+y = -6
-2(3x+y) = -2(-6)
-2(3x)-2(y) = 12
-6x-2y = 12
which is what choice B shows.
