If the value of a real number x satisfies -2x + 5= -1, then what is the value of 5x

-2x + 5 = -1

subtract 5 from both sides: -2x = -6

divide each side by -2: x = 3

plug in 3: 5(3)

multiply: 15

the value of 5x is 15.

First, solve for x.

-2x + 5 = -1

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 5 from both sides

-2x + 5 (-5) = -1 (-5)

-2x = -6

Next, divide -2 from both sides

-2x/-2 = -6/-2

x = -6/-2

x = 3

Plug in 3 for x

5x = 5(3) = 5 x 3 = 15

15 is your answer

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
