Answer:

D (3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both side of the equation: 5(4x - 10) + 10x = 4(2x - 3) + 2(x - 4)

(5)(4x) + (5)(−10) + 10x = (4)(2x) + (4)(−3) + (2)(x) + (2)(−4)

Then you distribute: 20x + −50 + 10x = 8x + −12 + 2x + −8

(20x + 10x) + (−50) = (8x + 2x) + (−12 + −8)

Combine like terms: 30x + −50 = 10x + −20

30x - 50 = 10x - 20

Subtract 10x from both sides: 30x − 50 − 10x = 10x − 20 − 10x

20x - 50 = -20

Add 50 to both sides: 20x - 50 + 50 = -20 + 50

20x = 30

Divide both sides by 20: 20x / 20 = 30 / 20

x = 3/2

Boom! I hope that helped :)

PLZZZ HURRYYY!!Which graph best represents the solution to the system of equations shown below? y = -4x + 19 y = 2x + 1 A coordi

Answer:

Two lines are shown intersecting on ordered pair 3, 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first of the two lines has a slope of -4 and a y-intercept of 19 (off the top of the graph). It will decrease 4 units for each 1 unit to the right.

The second of the two lines has a slope of +2 and a y-intercept of +1. It will increase 2 units for each 1 unit to the right.

These two lines must intersect in the first quadrant at a point with an x-value less than 5, eliminating the first and last two choices, leaving only the second choice you have listed here.

You would have to examine the graphs to see which has the lines with proper slope and intercept.

Use the converse of the pythagorean theorem to determine whether the triangle with the given vertices is a right triangle. (2, 1

B.
if it's is a right angle triangle, two of the x-coordinate of the points must be the same however with the points given, we can tell that the x coordinates are different , the two points are not vertical hence it does not form a right angle triangle.
