<h3>12 = -5x/4 - 8</h3>

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.

<h3>48 = −5x − 32</h3>

Swap the sides so that all variable terms are on the left side.

<h3>−5x − 32 = 48</h3>

<em>Add 32 to both sides.</em>

<h3>−5x = 48 + 32</h3>

<em>Add 48 and 32 to get 80.</em>

<h3>−5x = 80</h3>

<em>Divide both sides by −5.</em>

<h3>x = 80/-5</h3>

<em>Divide 80 by −5 to get −16.</em>

<h3>x= −16</h3>

twice the sum of the number and negative seven is eight. Find the number. Round your answer to the nearest integer, if necessary
Ugo [173]

The number that twice the sum of it and negative seven is eight is 11.

<h3>How to find the number ?</h3>

Twice the sum of the number and negative seven is eight. The number can be found as follows:

let

the number  = x

According to the word expression, twice the value of  the addition of x and minus seven is equals to 8. Hence, we will find the value of x in the equation formed from the words expression.

The variable x is the required number.

Therefore,

2(x + (-7)) = 8

2(x - 7) = 8

open the brackets

2(x - 7) = 8

2x  - 14 = 8

add 14 to both sides of the equation

2x  - 14 = 8

2x  - 14 + 14 = 8 + 14

2x = 22

divide both sides by 2

x = 22 / 2

x = 11

What set of Transformations are applied to parallelogram ABCD to create A'B'C'D'?​
bearhunter [10]

Answer:  a) reflected over x-axis and reflected over y-axis

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Reflection over the x-axis changes the sign of the y-coordinate

Z = (x, y)   →   Z'(x, -y)

Reflection over the y-axis changes the sign of the x-coordinate

Z' = (x, -y)   →   Z''(-x, -y)

A = (-4, 1)     →     A'' = (4, -1)    

B = (-3, 2)    →     A'' = (3, -2)

C = (-1, 2)     →     A'' = (1, -2)    

D = (-2, 1)     →     A'' = (2, -1)
