What is the simplified form expression 2(x-5)?

Question: what is the value of x 4x-2= (-7) +5x. it would be greatly appreciated if someone could actually explain to me step by step

The vertices of a triangle are a(7,5), b(4,2), c(9,2). what is m

The point a is at –2 and the point b is at 7. marissa would like to divide this line segment in a 4: 3 ratio, and she would like to use the formula x = (x2 – x1) + x1. what values should she substitute into the formula? a = a + b = x1 = x2 =
