Try to get all your like terms to the same side. for example get all your x values to the left side and all your number values to the right side.

5 + 2x = 8x - 4
2x - 8x = - 4 - 5
      -6x = -9
          x = -9/-6
          x = 1.5  or 1 1/2




hope this helps and have a great day! :)

5 + 2x = 8x - 4

Subtract 5 from both sides, as well as subtracting 8x from both sides.

2x-8x=-4-5

Add like terms.

-6x=-9

Divide both sides by -6.

x = 3/2, or 1 1/2

A car used 1/ 64 of a gallon of gas to drive 1 4of a mile. At this rate, how many miles can the car travel using 1 gallon of gas
Dovator [93]

Answer: 16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The car used 1/64 gallons to travel 1/4 miles. To find out how many miles the car can travel using 1 gallon, use direct proportion:

1/64 gallons            :              1/4 miles

1 gallon                   :                  x miles

Cross multiply:

1/64x = 1/4

x = 1/4 ÷ 1/64

= 1/4 * 64/1

= 16 miles

On one gallon of gas, the car can travel 16 miles.

If the Semi Monthly is $4,000
Andreyy89
Disclaimer- this is all assuming that "semi monthly" means twice a month. if it doesn't, ignore this answer

A- if semi monthly is half a month, then 4 times 2 is 8, and 8 times 12 is 96,000.

B- If there are 4 weeks in a month and 4000$ accounts for half of that pay, then the weekly pay is 2000, making the bi-weekly pay 1000.

C- The monthly pay is 8,000$ because 4,000 x 2 is 8,000

D- The weekly pay is 2,000$ because the monthly pay is 8,000$ and there are 4 weeks in a month

E- I do not know the hours at this job and therefore cannot answer this

Lf 7 + 3x = 22. then 2x = ?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

2x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

7 + 3x = 22

-7           -7

Subtract 7 from both sides (you are trying to get the variable alone, and to do that, you have to get every other number to 0. <em>7 - 7 = 0</em>. BUT, whatever you do, you have to do to both sides.)

3x = 15

/3    /3

Divide both sides by three to get the variable alone.

x = 5

Now, plug in the value of x to the second equation and solve.

2(5) = ? --> 10
