Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 3 = 8

So,

We bring the numbers (In this case, 8 & 3) to the Right-Hand Side of the equation and keep the variables (the alphabets used to represent unknown quantities, in this case, the variable is 'x') to the Left-Hand Side of the equation.

Please Note:

1) Always take the variable or the number with its sign.

Here. We say,

+x, -3 and +8

2) When we take any variable or number from one side of the equation o the other, Do remember,

+ (variable/number) becomes - (variable/number) when bringing the (variable/number) from one side of the equation to the other. (and vice-versa)

× (variable/number) becomes ÷ (variable/number) when bringing the (variable/number) from one side of the equation to the other. (and vice-versa)

Here, We take -3 to the LHS and will become +3 (Refer Please note: POINT NO. 2)

So, we get

x = 8 + 3

x = 11

Well, now you got ur answer! Tadaaa! Yay!

Hope it helps :)

Explain why you might want to write very large and very small numbers like the ones in the example problem in scientific notatio

slava [35]

Answer:

Extremely large and small numbers that have many zeros are long to write and take up a lot of room. So, by using scientific notation a number can be written shorter. For example, numbers such as 295,000,000,000 can be shortened to 2.95x $10^{11}$ . This is easier to write and understand. This is why the scientific notation is used over standard.

Barbara sells iced tea for $1.49 per bottle and water for $1.25 per bottle. She wrote an equation to find the number of drinks s

umka2103 [35]

I remember doing this question. The question went like:
1.25x + 1.49 = 100
What error did Barbara make in writing the equation?
And the answer would be that Barbaras equation did not consider the number of ice tea drinks. Hence, She put the correct price in the equation but she didn't put the (x) number of iced tea drinks. In other words,This is because she has added 1.25 X the number of water bottles sold to 1.49, the cost of one iced tea.
So, the correct equation would be:
1.25x +1.49y = 100
Would really appreciate if you would put me as Brainliest answer.
