Solve the following equation:
2(-2x -4) + 6 = 5 - 3(x+1)
HELP ME PLEASE

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2(-2x - 4) + 6 = 5 - 3(x+1)

Distribute the numbers outside the parenthesis to the numbers inside the parenthesis. You should have this equation:

-4x - 8 + 6 = 5 - 3x -3

Combine like terms:

-4x - 2 = 2 - 3x

Add a positive 3x to both sides to have the variable x on one side only.

-4x - 2 = 2 - 3x

+3x            +3x

-x - 2 = 2

Add two to both sides to isolate the variable, x.

-x - 2 = 2

   +2   +2

-x = 4

Divide both sides by -1 to leave x by itself.  

-x = 4

-1    -1

x = -4

The final answer should be x = -4.

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
