To solve this equation, I first would like to warn you about the long answer I am about to post for you. I'll be putting in very detailed steps for you, showing you how to simplify and distribute numbers, etc. :)

Let us solve your equation step-by-step.

Step 1) Simplify both sides of the equation.

To simplify this, we will...

4 + (-2) (x) + (-2) (7) = (3) (x) + (3) (5)

4 + - 2x + - 14 = 3x + 15

(-2x) + (4 + - 14) = 3x + 15

Now, we combine Like Terms...

-2x + - 10 = 3x + 15

-2x - 10 = 3x + 15

Fwew! That was probably going to be the longest step here!

Step 2) Subtract 3x from both sides.

- 2x - 10 - 3x = 3x + 15 - 3x

- 5x - 10 = 15

Step 3) Add 10 to both sides.

- 5x - 10 + 10 = 15 + 10

- 5x = 25

Step 4) Divide both sides by -5.

-5x/-5 = 25/-5

So, our final answer is x = -5.

Hope this helps!

Message me if you need anything else! I'd be happy to help! :D

Write the equation for a line that passes through the point (2,5) and a slope of m =10 in point slope form

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

y=10x-15

Step-by-step explanation:

with the points given you know x=2 and y=5

make a new point called (x,y)

now use the formula (y-5)/(x-2)=10 (10 being the gradient)

y-5 = 10(x-2)

y-5=10x-20

add 5 to both sides

y-5+5=10x-20+5

y=10x-15

An angle measure is 72.3 degrees. What is the measure of its complement? (I already tried 17.7 and that’s not correct).

Answer:

I got 17.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a complimentary angle adds up to 90 degrees, this would be the right answer... does it require a degree symbol?
