Which value of x is different from the others? a) 5x + 4 = -6
b) x/2 + 3 = 2
c) 2(x + 7) = 10
d) -2 = -x

d

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 4 = -6

5x= -6-4

5x=-10

x=-2

The value of the first expression is x=-2.

x/2 + 3 = 2

x/2 = 2-3

x/2 = -1

x=-2

The value of the second expression is x=-2.

2x+14=10

2x=-4

x=-2

The value of the third expression is x=-2.

-2=-x

2=x

The value of the fourth expression is x=2.

step-by-step explanation:

this woman was an important writer and propagandist during the american revolution. she was a member of the committee of correspondence (in fact the committee was formed in her home) and was an advisor to many of the revolutionary leaders, including george washington and john adams. who was this revolutionary woman?

-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
