Answer: x=-17/8


First, distribute the 10

10x + 10 = 2x - 7

Next, move the x-values to one side

8x = -17

Now, isolate the x by dividing both sides by 8

x = -17/8

Answer:Simplifying

x = -2.125

Step-by-step explanation:Add '-10' to each side of the equation.

10 + -10 + 8x = -7 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0

0 + 8x = -7 + -10

8x = -7 + -10

Combine like terms: -7 + -10 = -17

8x = -17

Divide each side by '8'.

x = -2.125

Simplifying

x = -2.125

A and b are positive integers and a−b=2. Evaluate the following:
Nata [24]

Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

You can put in any 2 numbers that would make a-b=2 true, so if you use a=4 and b=2, then 3^2/3^4=1/9. This is still true with any 2 numbers that make a-b=2 true. Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make this easier first of all:

a^2-y^3(a-y^2)y^2

a^2-y^5(a-y^2)

a^2-ay^5+y^7

(-2)^2-(-2)(3)^5+3^7

4-(-2*243)+2187

4-(-486)+2187

4+486+2187
