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:

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:

5x = 8+6
5x = 14
x = 14/5
x= 2.8

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

5(2.8) - 6 = 8
14 - 6 = 8
8 = 8

Hope that helped

Which operation is used for the equation down below

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+8=9

you want to isolate the variable so you subract 8 from both sides

2x=1

now you want x by itself so you divide by 2 on both sides

x=1/2 or x=0.5

Hope this helped :)

Jason had to replace the floor of a triangular portion of his dining room. The portion had a height that was twice as high as th

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the the area of a triangle can be represented as $\frac{bh}{2}$ .

Since the height is twice the base, we can substitute the value $2b$ in as $h$ in the expression, making it $\frac{b\cdot2b}{2}$ . If the area is 16, we can make the equation

$\frac{b\cdot2b}{2} = 16$

Now to solve for b.

$\frac{2b^2}{2} = 16\\\frac{2b^2}{2}\cdot2 = 16\cdot2\\\\2b^2 = 32\\\\2b^2\div2 = 32\div2\\\\b^2 = 16\\\\b=4$

Hope this helped!

Kristen can lift 133% of what Jane can lift. How many times more is that?

lubasha [3.4K]

The weight Kristen can lift is 1.3 times more than Jane's

<h3>How to determine the number of times?</h3>

The given paramater can be represented using the following equation

Kristen = 133% * Jane

Express the percentage as decimal

Kristen = 1.33 * Jane

Hence, the weight Kristen can lift is 1.3 times more than Jane's
