Solve the equation for x

the answer is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x/5 - 9 = -7

2x/5      = -7 + 9

2x/5      = 2

2x         = 2 * 5

2x         = 10

x            = 10/2

x            = 5

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

2

--- x - 9 = -7              add 9 both sides

 5

2

--- x - 9 + 9 = -7 + 9      

 5

2

--- x = 2             multiply both sides by 5

 5

    2

5 * --- x = 2 * 5

     5

2x = 10

x = 10 / 2

x = 5

180

step-by-step explanation:

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.
