Solve for x- 5(x+4)=30

x=-25/2 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Below are the steps for solving the equation:

Step 1: Simplify, combine like terms, and distribute:

x−5(x+4)=30

x+(−5)(x)+(−5)(4)=30

x+−5x+−20=30

(x+−5x)+(−20)=30

−4x+−20=30

−4x−20=30

Add 20 to each side:

−4x−20+20=30+20

−4x=50

Divide each side by -4:

-4x/-4=50/-4

x=-25/2, which is -12.5 as a decimal.

So, your answer is x=-25/2 as a fraction, which is also -12.5 as a decimal.

the answer would be 7

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
