I need help with this please!

3 − 5 (2x −5) = −2
Select the appropriate response
A)x= 1
B)x = 23
C)x= 3
D)x = -5

x=3

Step-by-step explanation: Hello! I hope you are having a great day :)

For this question, you will have to distribute in order to do that, you will need to multiply what's inside the parenthesis by 5. From there you get the equation 3 - 10x + 25= -2. So from this equation, we can then add the coefficients which becomes 28 - 10x = -2. We will then have to move the constant variable (28) over to the right-hand side and change the sign. Our new equation becomes -10x = -2 - 28. We then will calculate our new equation which becomes -10x = -30.  Next we divide both sides by -10 in order to make -10x into just x. -30 divided by -10 equals 3. Therefore, our answer is x=3.

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4
