-5x - 5 = 3x + 19

---Move the x's to one side

-5x - 3x - 5 = 3x - 3x + 19

-8x - 5 = 19

---Isolate the -8x by removing the -5 from the left side

-8x - 5 + 5 = 19 + 5

-8x = 24

---Divide both sides by -8 to get x by itself

x = -3

Hope this helps!

A home Improvement store advertises 60 ft.² of flooring for 287.00 including an 80.00 installation fee write an equation to repr

anastassius [24]

Answer:

$cost = \frac{287}{60} +80$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, for 60 square feet they charge = 287

So, for 1 square foot they charge = $\frac{287}{60}$

If they charge the installation fee this becomes = $\frac{287}{60} +80$

We can write an equation to calculate cost by using this $=\frac{287}{60} x +80$

Where x is the amount of square foot
