Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
You solve a linear equation by putting the variable on one side of the equal sign and a constant on the other side. Here, variables and constants are on both sides of the equal sign, so you need to separate them.
The basic idea is that you add the opposite of any term you don't want. Whenever you perform any operation (like "add"), <em>you must do it to both sides of the equation</em>.
We observe that x-terms have coefficients of 10 and 9. We choose to add the opposite of 9x to both sides:
10 -9x -5 = 9x -9x +2
x -5 = 2 . . . . simplify
Now, we still have -5 on the left, where we don't want it. So, we add its opposite (+5) to both sides:
x -5 +5 = 2 +5
x = 7 . . . . simplify
The solution is x = 7.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If we were to end up with an x-coefficient other than 1, we would divide both sides of the equation by that coefficient. This will leave the x-term with a coefficient of 1.
Answer:
The third option, a rational number
like 1/5 + 2.5 is still rational (but neither irrational nor whole/an integer)
it would be 0.2 + 2.5 = 2.7 btw
or
1/5 + 5/2
= 2/10 + 25/10
= 27/10
We know that 75=5*5*3 so
5*5*3 times 5=125*3=375 then move the decimal place two places to the left (divide by 100) and get 3.75
or you could note that 0.75=3/4 so
3/4 times 5=
15/4
simplified=3 and 3/4

Answer:
8xy
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract -13xy from -5xy
-5xy - (-13xy) =
-5xy + 13xy =
8xy
