Plz help using all my freaking points asking this
ill report if u do something stupid

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

- 17 = - 2 - x ( add 2 to both sides )

- 15 = - x ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

15 = x

-----------------------------------------------------

- 9 = - 15 ( add 9 to both sides )

= - 6 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

x = - 18

--------------------------------------------------------

- 3 = 2 + ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- 5 = ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

- 15 = x

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
