If 2x – 3 + 3x = – 27, what is the value of x?

x = -24/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x – 3 + 3x = – 27

Combine like terms

5x -3 = -27

Add 3 to each side

5x-3+3 = -27+3

5x = -24

Divide each side by 5

5x/5 = -24/5

x = -24/5

x= -24/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to get x by itself.

2x – 3 + 3x = – 27

Combine like terms

(2x+3x)-3= -27

5x-3=-27

Add 3 to both sides

5x-3+3=-27+3

5x= -24

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5= -24/5

x= -24/5

-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

its 8
