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

For the answer to the question above, I'll provide a solution to my answer below.
(4 / 5) + (3 / x) = (1/2) 

<span>x cannot equal 0 </span>

<span>(4x + 15) / 5x = 1/2 </span>
<span>2(4x + 15) = 5x </span>
<span>8x + 30 = 5x </span>
<span>3x = -30 </span>
<span>x = -10

Callie bought 2 gallons of juice for $2.58 per gallon. She sold the juice in 1-cup servings for $0.75 each. Each serving is 1/16
konstantin123 [22]
2 gallons * $2.58 per gallon = $5.16 expenses (total spent)
2 gallons * 16 cups = 32 total servings
32 cups * $0.75 per cup = $24 gross revenue (total income)
$24 - $5.16 = $19.84 net revenue (profit)

7 = -x+3. Consider the line y = Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (-5, 6)
artcher [175]

Answer with explanation:

The equation of line is, y= -x +3

→x+y-3=0---------(1)

⇒Equation of line Parallel to Line , ax +by +c=0 is given by, ax + by +K=0.

Equation of Line Parallel to Line 1 is

  x+y+k=0

The Line passes through , (-5,6).

→ -5+6+k=0

→ k+1=0

→k= -1

So, equation of Line Parallel to line 1 is

x+y-1=0

⇒Equation of line Perpendicular  to Line , ax +by +c=0 is given by, bx - a y +K=0.

Equation of Line Perpendicular to Line 1 is

  x-y+k=0

The Line passes through , (-5,6).

→ -5-6+k=0

→ k-11=0

→k= 11

So, equation of Line Parallel to line 1 is

x-y+11=0

Set up a ratio of object height to shadow length.
So x/32=6/8
8(4)=32 so 6(4) would be 24.
