Hey there!

2x + 2 = -4(x - 5)

2x + 2 = -4(x) - 4(-5)

2x + 2 = -4x + 20

ADD 4x to BOTH SIDES

2x + 2 + 4x = -4x + 20 + 4x

SIMPLIFY IT!

6x + 2 = 20

SUBTRACT 18 to BOTH SIDES

6x + 2 - 2 = 20 - 2

CANCEL out: 2 - 2 because it give you 0

KEEP: 20 - 2 because it help solve for the x-value

NEW EQUATION: 6x = 20 - 2

SIMPLIFY IT!

6x = 18

DIVIDE 6 to BOTH SIDES

6x/6 = 18/6

CANCEL out: 6/6 because it give you 1

KEE: 18/6 because it help solve for the x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = 18/6

SIMPLIFY IT!

x = 3

Therefore, your answer is: x = 3

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Write an equation for a line parallel to
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

y = 5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of line parallel will be same as given line

slope is 5

y-18 = 5 (x-4)

y - 18 = 5x - 20

add 18 to both sides

y = 5x -2

Given A(4, 2) and B(-1, y) and the graph<br> of line t below, find the value of y so that<br> AB It.
Anika [276]

Answer:

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we will use the property of perpendicular lines,

m_1\times m_2=-1

Where m_1 and m_2 are the slopes of two lines perpendicular to each other.

Slope of a line passing through two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is given by,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Slope of a line which passes through the points A(4, 2) and B(-1, y) will be

m_1=\frac{y-2}{-1-4}

     =-\frac{y-2}{5}

Slope of the line given in the graph [passing through (2, 4) and (-5, -1)]

m_2=\frac{4+1}{2+5}

m_2=\frac{5}{7}

From the property of perpendicular lines,

\frac{-(y-2)}{5}\times \frac{5}{7}=-1

\frac{5(y-2)}{35}=1

5y - 10 = 35

5y = 45

y = 9
