This is not a straight line rather number line.

Equations with two variables produce graphs that are lines.  If the line on the graph
is straight, then it has one slope at every point on it.  If the line on the graph has any
curves in it, then it has different slopes at different points on it.  That's for equations
with two variables.

The equation in this question only has one variable, and it only produces a number . . . the number that 'x' must be in order to make the equation a true statement.  It's
not too hard to find:

<span><u>5 + 2x = 2 + 3x</u></span>

Subtract 2x from each side:

5 = 2 + x

Subtract 2 from each side:

<u>3 = x</u>

And that's it.  'x' is 3.

If you want to graph that, then what you get is a vertical line on the graph. 
It crosses the x-axis at the point where 'x' is 3 .

The slope of a vertical line is 'undefined', just like the slope of a brick wall. 
That means that some people would look at it and call it "infinity", but in real
math, it's just 'undefined' ... it has no name at all.

Answer:

h=8

Step-by-step explanation:\frac{-7}{8} h= -7\\\\(\frac{8}{-7} )(\frac{-7}{8} h)= -7 (\frac{8}{-7} )\\\\\frac{-56}{-56}h = \frac{56}{7}\\\\ h=\frac{56}{7}\\\\h=8

the goal is to isolate the variable, get it all by itself. to do that in this problem, we have to move the -7/8 away from the h. we do this by multiplying by the reciprocal (the opposite of the fraction). The reciprocal of -7/8 is 8/-7. So multiply both sides by this and you will get h=8

Natalija [7]
99(x-77)=99(x+88)
99x-7623=99x+8712
99x-99x=8712+7623
0=670824.no solution as x becomes 0

Allen's Roofing posts $5,000 in net income and $200 in dividends for the year. How does this affect the retained earnings on the
kumpel [21]

Answer:

"Retained earnings increases by $4,800"

Step-by-step explanation:

Retained Earnings are the amount of money left over for a business after it has paid its dividends from its net income.

Simply put:

Retained Earnings = Income - Dividends

Here, it is given:

Income = 5000

Dividends = 200

Hence,

Retained Earnings = 5000 - 200 = $4800
