What he's saying is that 7/8 of his ties + 4 ties = all of his ties.
7/8x + 4 = x
Thus, 4 is 1/8 of his ties.
4 = 1/8x
So you simply multiply 4 by 8 to get 32 ties.
32 = x
To check, plug 32 back into the original equation:
7/8(32) + 4 = (32)
28 + 4 = 32
It works!
Hope that helps.

Solve the system of equations x+y=-8 and -9x-6y=60 by combining the equations
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

x = - 4    y = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y= - 8

-9x-6y=60

First, solve for x in the first equation:

x+y = - 8       Subtract y from both sides

x + y - y = -8 - y    y cancels on the left

x = - 8 - y

Now plug in what you found for x into the 2nd equation and solve for y.

- 9x - 6y = 60

-9(- 8 - y) - 6y = 60   Multiply out

72 + 9y - 6y = 60

72 + 3y = 60  Subtract 72 from both sides

72 - 72 + 3y = 60 - 72    72 cancels on the left

3y = - 12     Divie both sides by 3

3y/3 = -12/3     3 cancels on the left because 3/3 = 1

y = -4

Now plug your answer for y back into the first equation to get x.

x + y = -8

x + (-4) = - 8  Add 4 to each side

x - 4 + 4 = - 8 + 4   4 cancels on the left

x = -4

x = - 4 and y = - 4

Need some answers for this one
Schach [20]

Answer:

20.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the diameter of each circle is 4, the dimensions of the rectangle is 8x12

The area of the whole rectangle is 96

Now we need to find the area of the circles

The area of 1 circle is 2^{2} *\pi =12.56...

So the area of all 6 circles is 12.56*6= 75.39...

So to find the area of yellow you have to subract the area of circle from the overall area of the rectangle

96-75.4=20.6
