Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x - 12 + 18 = 10

Hint: | Group like terms in x - 12 + 18.

Grouping like terms, x - 12 + 18 = x + (18 - 12):

x + (18 - 12) = 10

Hint: | Evaluate 18 - 12.

18 - 12 = 6:

x + 6 = 10

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 6 from both sides:

x + (6 - 6) = 10 - 6

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

6 - 6 = 0:

x = 10 - 6

Hint: | Evaluate 10 - 6.

10 - 6 = 4:

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

18 – 12 + x = 10

Combine like terms on the left side: 18 - 12 = 6

6 + x = 10

Subtract 6 from both sides.

x = 4

Answer:

The linear equation for the line which passes through the points given as (-1,4) and (5,2), is written in the point-slope form as $y=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{13}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A condition is given that a line passes through the points whose coordinates are (-1,4) and (5,2).

It is asked to find the linear equation which satisfies the given condition.

Step 1 of 3

Determine the slope of the line.

The points through which the line passes are given as (-1,4) and (5,2). Next, the formula for the slope is given as,

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substitute 2&4 for $y_{2}$ and $y_{1}$ respectively, and $5 \&-1$ for $x_{2}$ and $x_{1}$ respectively in the above formula. Then simplify to get the slope as follows,
