Multiply what’s on the outside to the inside, the variable is always a lower case letter such as x,
9x + 26 + 7x - 17 = 2x + (-3x) + 5x =
16x + 9 = 2x - 3x + 5x =
16x + 9 = 4x
9 = 4x - 16x
9 = - 12x
-9/12 = x
- 3/4 = x
First you add 3 and 2 so that is 5 and then you subtract 5 from 9 so the answer is 4.
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find the slope using
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= ( -8 - 5)/( -7 - -7)
= (-8-5)/(-7+7)
= -13/0
This means the slope is undefined and the line is vertical
Vertical lines are in the form
x= constant and the constant is the x value of the points
x = -7
