Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Picture attached, shows a weighing scale in the balanced form,

So weight of elements on the left = Weight of the elements on the right

Left side of the scale = weight of x + weight of 1

                                   = x(2) + 1(6)

                                   = 2x + 6

On the right side of the scale = Weight of (-x) + weight of (-1)

                                                 = (-x)(2) + (-1)(2)

                                                 = -2x - 2

Since, both the sides are balanced,

Therefore, equation which models the situation is,

(2x + 6) = -(2x + 2)

(2x + 6) + (2x + 2) = 0

4x + 8 = 0

4x = -8

x = -2

How do I find the correct slope on a graph?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

To find the slope of a line from a graph, first choose 2 points along the line and write down the X and Y coordinates for each. Next, find the rise by taking the difference between the 2 Y coordinates. If the line slopes up as it moves to the right, the rise will be positive. If it slopes down, the rise will be negative.
