5x - x + 12 + 2x - 7 = 10

We're simply just trying to isolate x :)

However, we must first simplify the equation by adding like terms.

(5x - x + 2x) + (12 - 7) = 10

Simplify.

6x + 5 = 10

Then, we must subtract 5 from both sides.

6x = 10 - 5

Simplify.

6x = 5

Divide both sides by 6.

6x ÷ 6 = 5 ÷ 6

Simplify.

x = 5/6

B. x = 5/6

~Hope I helped!~

Combine like terms. Like terms are completely the same excluding coefficients.
6x+5=10

Subtract 5 from both sides
6x=5

Divide bith sides by 6
x=5/6

Final answer: B

Angle DEF and angle FEG are supplementary. The measure of angle DEF = (9x +1) and the measure of angle FEG = (8x + 9). What is t

RUDIKE [14]

Supplementary angles are angles that are adjacent to each other and when summed to get a total of 180 degrees. In this case, DEF and FEG are supplementary. Thus the equation is 9x +1 + 8x + 9 = 180 = 17 x + 10; x then is equal to 10 so
<DEF = 9*10 +1 =91 degrees
<FEG = 8*10 + 9 = 89 degrees

Variable p is 2 more than variable d. Variable p is also 1 less than variable d. Which pair of equations best models the relatio

goldenfox [79]

If you would like to find a pair of equations that best models the relationship between p and d, you can do this using the following steps:

p is 2 more than d ... p = d + 2
p is 1 less than d ... p = d - 1

The correct result would be p = d + 2 and p = d - 1.
