2 - (3x – 4) = 2x – 9

2 - (3x – 4) = 2x – 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2−(3x−4)=2x−9

2+−1(3x−4)=2x−9(Distribute the Negative Sign)

2+−1(3x)+(−1)(−4)=2x−9

2+−3x+4=2x−9

2+−3x+4=2x+−9

(−3x)+(2+4)=2x−9(Combine Like Terms)

−3x+6=2x−9

−3x+6=2x−9

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

−3x+6−2x=2x−9−2x

−5x+6=−9

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

−5x+6−6=−9−6

−5x=−15

Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.

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.

what is the original number? you forgot to add it.
