8x= (-16)
Mathematics

The value of x after solution of the equation 8x = -16 is -2 and it is not possible to solve this equation using multiplication.

According to the question,

We have the following equation:

8x = -16

Now, this equation can not be solved using multiplication because 8 is already in multiplication with x on the left hand side. If 8 would have been in division then it could be solved using multiplication.

So, dividing by 8 on both the sides:

x = -16/8

x = -2

Hence, the value of x after solution of the equation 8x = -16 is -2 and it is not possible to solve this equation using multiplication.

LM=9, NR=16, SR=8. Find the perimeter of △SMP.
Amanda [17]

Answer:

<h2>perimeter of △SMP = 25</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the triangle △SMP is the sum of al the sides of the triangle.

Perimeter of △SMP = ||MS|| + ||MP|| + ||SP||

Note that the triangle △LRN, △LSM, △MPN and △SRP are all scalene triangles showing that their sides are different.

Given LM=9, NR=16 and SR=8

NR = NP+PR

Since NP = PR

NR = NP+NP

NR =2NP

NP = NR/2 = 16/2

NP = 8

From △LSM,  NP = PR = <u>MS</u><u> = 8</u>

Also since LM = MN, MN = 9

From △SRP, SR = RP = <u>PS =  9</u>

Also SR =<u> MP = 8</u>

From the equation above, perimeter of △SMP = ||MS|| + ||MP|| + ||SP||

perimeter of △SMP = 8+8+9

perimeter of △SMP = 25

What does the term ‘slope’ mean?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

noun

1.

a surface of which one end or side is at a higher level than another; a rising or falling surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

steepness

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x)

step one: identify two points on the line

step two: select one to be (x1,y1) and the other to be (x2,y2)

step three: use the slope equation calulate slope

2x-3=8+7(+3)

2y-3(+3)=8x+7(+3)

2y=8x+10

----- --------

2y=8x+10

y=4x+5

m=4
