Solve 0.5 (2x - 4) = -17 in variable

care to share were the trapezoid shown is ?

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.

is there supposed to be a diagram or a graph for this one? ?

step-by-step explanation:

use distributive property on all like terms and change your signs if you have a double negative or if you have positive/negative
