5+2x = -27/8
How explain​

x = -4 3/16.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert -27/8 to a mixed number. -3 3/8.

So we can take 5 + 2x = -3 3/8 and subtract 5 from both sides (to get rid of the 5 on the left)

The equation turns into this: 2x = -8 3/8.

Now we can divide by 2 on both sides.

The equation becomes x = -4 3/16.

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
