Answer:

5x - 6 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We know that we don't know the actual number. We can use x to sub in for that number.

2. We also know that the equivalent eventually gets us to 8, so write:

  • x=8

3. The equation multiplies the number by 5, and then subtracts 6. It must be in this order because of PEMDAS. Write like so:

  • 5x- 6 = 8

You could solve it too, if you like:

  1. 5x = 8+6
  2. 5x = 14
  3. x = 14/5
  4. x= 2.8

Then feel free to check your answer, substituting 2.8 for x:

  1. 5(2.8) - 6 = 8
  2. 14 - 6 = 8
  3. 8 = 8

Hope that helped

Step-by-step explanation:

When given the per capita birth rate and the per capita death rate, the per capita growth rate can be calculated as:

What is the value of x in the equation -6/7= -×/84?
pantera1 [17]
-6/7 = -x/84

84/7 = 12

12(-6) = -72

x = -72

So, -6/7 = -72/84 because -72/84 simplifies to -6/7

The entrance hall in Black's family house has a perimeter of 71 2/3 ft.IF it is 9 2/5 ft wide, how long is it?
serious [3.7K]

Answer: 26 13/30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The hall is in the shape of a rectangle. The perimeter of a rectangle is:

= 2(length + width)

= 2l + 2w

Since perimeter = 71 2/3 ft and Width = 9 2/5 ft wide, the length will be calculated thus:

Perimeter = 2l + 2w

71⅔ = 2l + 2(9 2/5)

71 2/3 = 2l + (2 × 47/5)

71 2/3 = 2l + 94/5

71 2/3 = 2l + 18 4/5

Collect like terms

2l = 71 2/3 - 18 4/5

2l = 71 10/15 - 18 12/15

2l = 52 13/15

l = (52 13/15 ÷ 2)

l = 793/15 × 1/2

l = 793/30

l = 26 13/30

Therefore, the length is 26 13/30ft
