Answer:
a) 5x=8 use a calculator and use distributive property
b) 22=3x+5 -18
22=3x-13
9=3x
x=3
distributive property
c)-48= -8x-20+5x-1
-48= -3x-21
-27= -3x
x=7
distributive property
Step-by-step explanation:
X/(x+5) = (x-2)/(x+1)
x(x+1) = (x -2) (x + 5)
x^2 + x = x^2 - 2x + 5x - 10
x = 3x - 10
3x - x = 10
2x = 10
x = 5
answer is A
5
Answer:
C and E are not on the line.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just substitute for the x and the y and see which ordered pair fits and which does not:
If Left side of the equation = right side then the point fits.
A. y = -3
-2x+5 = -2(4) + 5 = -3 So A is on the line
B. y = 9
-2(-2) + 5 = 9 So this point does lie on the line.
C. y = 1
-2(3) + 5 = -1 No.
D. y = 7
-1(-1) + 5 = 7 YES.
E. y = 1
-2(1) + 5 = 3 NO.
