Answer:

6x+5=5x+8+2x

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

use like terms so add 5x+2x=7x

6x+5=7x+8

subtract 5 from both sides

6x+5-5=7x+8-5

simplify

-x = 3

divide both sides by -1

-x/-1  =  3/-1

x= -3

so no -5 is not a solution

Which equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x − 2y = −6 and passes through the point (5, −4)? Select t
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are perpendicular if the first line has a slope of m and the second line has a slope of \frac{1}{-m}.

With this information, we first need to figure out what the slope of the line is that we're given, and then we can determine what the slope of the line we're trying to find is:

5x - 2y = -6

-2y = -5x - 6

y = \frac{5}{2}x + 3

We now know that m = \frac{5}{2} for the first line, which means that the slope of the second line is m = \frac{-2}{5}. With this, we have the following equation for our new line:

y = \frac{-2}{5}x + C

where C is the Y-intercept that we now need to determine with the coordinates given in the problem statement, (5, -4):

y = \frac{-2}{5}x + C

(-4) = \frac{-2}{5}(5) + C

-4 = -2 + C

C = -2

Finally, we can create our line:

y = \frac{-2}{5}x - 2

5y = -2x - 10

2x + 5y = -10

A square piece of paper has an area of 36 square inches what is the perimeter of the paper​
Gekata [30.6K]

Lets represent the side of the square as s , since we know the area is 36. write s

{s}^{2}  = 36

s = \sqrt{36}

the square root of 36 is 6. So, we know the side is 6. The formula for perimeter is P= s+s+s+s , but since it is a square and all the sides are equal, for a perimeter of a square you can do p= 4s , now substitute 6 for s to get 4(6)=24 so the perimeter of a square would be 24 inches
