Solve for x. -8x-8=-5x+13

Mathematics

Troyanec [42]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Add 8 to both sides.

-8x-8=-5x+13

-8x - 8 + 8 = -5x + 13 + 8

2) Simplify

- Add the numbers

-8x - 8 + 8 = -5x + 13 + 8

-8x = -5x + 13 + 8

- Add the numbers

-8x = -5x + 13 + 8

-8x = -5x + 21

3) Simplify

- Combine like terms

-8x + 5x = -5x + 21 + 5x

-3x = -5x + 21 + 5x

- Combine like terms

-3x = -5x + 21 + 5x

-3x = 21

4) Divide both sides by the same factor

-3x + 21

-3x/-3 = 21/-3

6) Simplify

- Cancel terms that are in the numerator and denominator

-3x/-3 = 21/-3

x = 21/-3

- Divide the numbers

x = 21/-3

x = -7

It is now twenty-seven minutes past six. What time will it be in 3 hours and 25 minutes?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

9:52

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's rewrite "twenty-seven minutes past six", into a standard digital clock form. We could write 6:27. Now, it's easier to see that if we add 3 hours first, we would get to 9:27. And then if we add 25 minutes, we will get to 9:52.

Given △XPS≅△DNF, find the values of x and y.
White raven [17]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

If △XPS ≅△DNF, their corresponding sides would be congruent. This implies that:

XP ≅ DN

PS ≅ NF

XS ≅ DF

Given that:

XP = 4y - 3

DN = 57

NF = 51

XS = 17x + 3

DF = 54

Therefore:

XP = DN

4y - 3 = 57 (Substitution)

Add 3 to both sides

4y = 57 + 3

4y = 60

Divide both sides by 4

y = 60/4

y = 15

Also,

XS = DF

17x + 3 = 54 (substitution)

Subtract 3 from each side

17x = 54 - 3

17x = 51

Divide both sides by 17

x = 51/17

x = 3
