I think that the answer is D
2x+7=3
move 7 to the other side
sign changes from +7 to -7
2x+7-7= 3-7
2x= 3-7
2x= -4
divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself
2x/2= -4/2
answer:
x= -2
Answer:
y = 8x + 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Find slope of perpendicular line
<em>Take the negative reciprocal of the 1st equation</em>
m = 8
y = 8x + b
Step 2: Find <em>b</em>
7 = 8(-1) + b
7 = -8 + b
b = 15
Step 3: Rewrite perpendicular equation
y = 8x + 15
We need to solve for x
To get x alone we need to remove the denominator 5
To remove denominator 5 we multiply by 5 on both sides
2x = 50
2x means 2 times x
2 is multiplied with x. so to remove 2 we divide by 2
So x= 25
