Answer: First operation is "Subtract 5 from both sides"

Explanation:

To solve equations, we follow PEMDAS in reverse.

The last step in PEMDAS is subtraction. So we need to undo subtraction, but there isn't any subtraction being done here.

So the next step up is undoing addition.

We need to undo the "plus 5". To do so, we subtract 5 from both sides

2x+5 = 10

2x+5-5 = 10-5 ... subtracting 5 from both sides

2x+0 = 5

2x = 5

The next step is to undo the multiplication by dividing both sides by 2

2x = 5

2x/2 = 5/2 ... divide both sides by 2

x = 5/2

x = 2.5

Given the median QR and trapezoid MOPN, what is the value of x?
Effectus [21]

As QR is the median of trapezoid MOPN,

QR = \frac{QP + MN}{2}\\\\27 = \frac{5x - 7 + 6x + 6}{2}\\\\27 = \frac{11x - 1}{2}\\\\Cross  multiply\\27 \times 2 = 11x - 1\\\\54 = 11x - 1\\\\Add  1  on both sides  \\54 + 1 = 11x -1 + 1\\55 = 11x\\\\Divide both side by 11\\\frac{55}{11} = \frac{11x}{11}\\\\x = 5

Option D is the answer

A conditional statement is false if the hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false.

The statement in the answer above reads in word; "if not p then not q".
