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

Write an equation in point-slope form and slope-intercept form for

Alex787 [66]

Answer: y=2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line that passes through (a,b) and have slope m is given by :-

$(y-b)=m(x-a)$ [point slope form]

Given, Point = (4,7) , m= 2

Equation in point slope form : $(y-7)=2(x-4)$

To write in slope intercept form (y=mx+c) , we need to simplify it

$y-7= 2x-8\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-2x=-8+7\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-2x=-1\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=2x-1$

Hence, y=2x-1
