Answer:

-x

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5x + 2 = 3x

Reorder the terms:

2 + 5x = 3x

Solving

2 + 5x = 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

2 + 5x + -3x = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 5x + -3x = 2x

2 + 2x = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

2 + 2x = 0

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.

2 + -2 + 2x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0

0 + 2x = 0 + -2

2x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2

2x = -2

Divide each side by '2'.

x = -1

Simplifying

x = -1

= -x

I hope this helped, please mark Brainliest, thank you!! =)

Write the standard equation of a circle that passes through (−2, 10) with center (−2, 6).
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Standard form of a circle" (x-h)²+(y-k)²=r², (h,k) being the center, r being the radius.
in this case, h=-2, k=6, (x+2)²+(y-6)²=r²
use the point (-2,10) to find r: (-2+2)²+(10-6)²=r², r=4
so the equation of the circle is: (x+2)²+(y-6)²=4²

Line FG contains points F (3,7) and G (-4,-5) line HI contains points (-1,0) and I (4,6) lines FG and HI are. ?
ludmilkaskok [199]
FG : (3,7)(-4,-5)
slope = (-5 - 7) / (-4-3) = -12/-7 = 12/7

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 12/7
(3,7)...x = 3 and y = 7
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y int
7 = 12/7(3) + b
7 = 36/7 + b
7- 36/7 = b
49/7 - 36/7 = b
13/7 = b
so ur equation is : y = 12/7 + 13/7.....slope = 12/7, y int = 13/7

HI : (-1,0)(4,6)
slope = (6 - 0) / (4 - (-1) = 6/5

no need to go any farther.....these lines have different slopes...and their not negative reciprocals....so there will be one solution. Answer is : neither.

Pls help me!!!
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A box plot is the diagrammatic representation of the five number summary. It includes 5 items:

The minimum.

Q1 = the first quartile or the 25% mark.

The median.

Q3 = the third quartile or the 75% mark.

The maximum.

Rearranging the data in ascending order, it becomes

169, 163, 153, 166, 149, 148, 146, 145, 152, 163

145, 146, 148, 149, 152, 153, 163, 163, 166, 169

Minimum = 145

Maximum = 169

Median = (152 + 153)/2 = 152.5

The median divides the data into two equal halves. The middle of the lower halve is Q1 while the middle of the upper halve is Q3

Q1 = 148

Q3 = 163

The diagram of the box plot is shown in the attached photo
