<span>2(8x - 4) = 32 distribute through parenthesis
16x - 8 =32 add 8 on both sides to isolate x
16x = 40 divide by 16 on both sides to isolate x
x= 40/16 simplify, Divide 40 by 16
x = 2.5 this is your final answer, I hope it helps!</span>
Answer:
The height of the cactus is three times the height of the gate
The gate is 3 feet tall
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
A(1, 1), B(2, 4), C(4, 2)
i) Slope of AB

Thus, slope of AB is 3.
ii) Point slope form
The point slope form of a line can be written as:

The point intercept form of line can be written as:

The line is parallel to AB and contains point C(4, 2). Since line p is parallel to AB, line p will have the same slope as line AB
Putting values, we get,

which is the required slope intercept equation of line p.
The answer is x=-2 because its the only one thats parallel to the y axis
Step-by-step explanation:
the ratio of the pool lengths is 3/5.
that means for every 3 meters of length on Shantel's pool, there are 5 meters of length on Juan's pool.
it the other way around : to get to the size of Shantel's pool, every 5 meters of length on Juan's pool are converted to 3 meters.
x = length of Juan's pool
x × 3/5 = 30
3x = 150
x = 50 meters
you see the relationship ?
3/5 = 30/50 = 300/500 = ...
but it is true for any factor
3/5 = 15/25 = 24/40 = 6/10 = ...
once you see the factor for one part of the ratio, you know there is the same factor for the other part (or parts) of the ratio. otherwise the ratio would not stay the same and keep the relationship.
