Answer:

8 Feet below the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

If the salmon were initially 5 feet below the surface, and then travelled down an additional 3 feet from the initial 5, then the new position would be 8 feet down relative to the surface.

You can write this as -5 + -3 = -8, assuming that 0 represents surface level.

Cheers.

Z=Xm+n-p,solve for x
timama [110]

z=xm+n-p

We need to isolate x to one side I will do that on the left side so it looks cleaner, therefore I will first flip the equation.

xm+n-p=z

Now move the n and p to the right side

xm=z-n+p

x=(z-n+p)/m

Hope this helped, if you have any questions about this just comment and I will come answer.

6. – 4y + 8x = 32 for y
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The answer is: y=2x−8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add -8x to both sides.

8x−4y+−8x=32+−8x

−4y=−8x+32

Step 2: Divide both sides by -4.

−4y−4=−8x+32−4

y=2x−8

Komok [63]

Errrrrrr what following. I know that you need to separate the parts into simple shapes eg:triangle and then find the area of all the shapes and add up. All the shapes should make up the shaded area.
