Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
You solve a linear equation by putting the variable on one side of the equal sign and a constant on the other side. Here, variables and constants are on both sides of the equal sign, so you need to separate them.
The basic idea is that you add the opposite of any term you don't want. Whenever you perform any operation (like "add"), <em>you must do it to both sides of the equation</em>.
We observe that x-terms have coefficients of 10 and 9. We choose to add the opposite of 9x to both sides:
10 -9x -5 = 9x -9x +2
x -5 = 2 . . . . simplify
Now, we still have -5 on the left, where we don't want it. So, we add its opposite (+5) to both sides:
x -5 +5 = 2 +5
x = 7 . . . . simplify
The solution is x = 7.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If we were to end up with an x-coefficient other than 1, we would divide both sides of the equation by that coefficient. This will leave the x-term with a coefficient of 1.
Answer:
0.9%
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Rich measured the height of a desk to be 80.7 cm. The actual height of the desk is 80 cm.
We will use percentage error formula to solve our given problem.
Therefore, Rich's percent error in calculation is 0.9%.
Answer:
-86
Step-by-step explanation:
5+5=10
10-6=4
4-100=-86
It simplifies to the proper fraction 14/15 so it cannot be a mix number
hope this helps !!
