Answer:
b = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation is:
- 5b + 2b - (-b) + 7 = 5
We separate the terms of b and the constants. To do that we subtract 7 from both the sides. We get:
- 5b + 2b - (-b) + 7 - 7 = 5 - 7
⇒ - 5b + 2b - (-b) = - 2
Now, simplifying the terms with 'b'.
⇒ -5b + 2b + b = - 2
⇒ (-5 + 2 + 1)b = - 2
⇒ -2b = -2
Dividing both the sides by -2, we get:
b = 1 which is the required answer.
Slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0, or (0,y))
Rise is the number of units you go up(+) or down(-)
Run is the number of units you go to the right
y = -2x
This has a y-intercept of 0, so the line intersects the y-axis/goes through the origin at (0,0)
The slope is -2 or 
, so from each point, you go down 2 units, and to the right 1 unit.
X = -m/b.
Subtract z from both side and you get
-m= bx
Now divide both side by b and you get
-m/b= x
Think about the fact that you can have two types of isosceles triangle: one of them that is a right triangle (isosceles right triangle) such as a 45-45-90 triangle and the other type can be just a regular triangle that has two sides that are congruent but it isn't a right triangle.
Thus, you would need more info about the triangles in order to conclude that the two isosceles triangles are congruent to each other.
