First distribute -4 to all terms within the parenthesis

-4(x) = -4x

-4(1) = -4

-4x - 4 + 5 = 17

Simplify. Combine like terms

-4x (-4 + 5) = 17

-4x + 1 = 17

Isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other.

Subtract 1 from both sides

-4x + 1 (-1) = 17 (-1)

-4x = 16

Divide -4 from both sides

-4x/-4 = 16/-4

x = 16/-4

x = -4

-4 is your answer

hope this helps

-4(x + 1) + 5 = 17

Distribute -4 inside the parentheses.

(-4x - 4) + 5 = 17

Combine like terms (-4 + 5).

-4x + 1 = 17

Subtract 1 from both sides.

-4x = 16

Divide both sides by -4.

x = -4

What is the equation of the line in slope intercept form using these points?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

y = -x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The slope-intercept form of any linear equation is y = mx + b, where y = y-coordinate, m = slope, x = x-coordinate, and b = y-intercept.

2. To find the slope given two points, we can use the formula \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} and plug in the corresponding variable.

  • \frac{5-(-2)}{-6-1}
  • \frac{5+2}{-7}
  • \frac{7}{-7}
  • -1

3. Okay, so the slope is -1x or just -x. This means that the equation looks like this so far: y = -x + b

4. To find b, the y-intercept, we can take the equation of b = y_1 - m * x_1 and plug in the values!

  • b = -2-(-1)*1
  • b = -2 + 1 * 1
  • b = -1 * 1
  • b = -1

5. Now that we have our y-intercept and slope, let's plug in those values and find the equation!

  • y = -x - 1

Therefore, the equation of the line is y = -x - 1. I hope this helped you!

For numbers 15-17, we need to remember that two of a triangle's angles are always acute and the third angle will allow us to classify the triangle based on its angles. now that we know this, let's look at #15. the first two angles listed are acute, and the third is an obtuse angle, therefore it is an obtuse triangle. on #16 we have three acute angles, so it is an acute triangle. #17 has two acute angles and a right angle so it is a right triangle.
on numbers 21-23, we need to know that a triangle with all congruent sides is called equilateral, a triangle with two equal sides is isosceles, and a triangle with no equal sides is called scalene. #21 shows two equal sides so it is an isosceles triangle. #22 has three equal sides so it is an equilateral triangle. #23 has no equal sides so it is scalene. hope this helped! :)
