Solve for x.

a2x+a−8=(a+8)(x)

 Add -8x to both sides.

a^2x+a−8+−8x=ax+8x+−8x

a^2x+a−8x−8=ax

Add -ax to both sides.

a^2x+a−8x−8+−ax=ax+−ax

a^2x−ax+a−8x−8=0

Add 8 to both sides.

a^2x−ax+a−8x−8+8=0+8

a^2x−ax+a−8x=8

Add -a to both sides.

a^2x−ax+a−8x+−a=8+−a

a^2x−ax−8x=−a+8

Factor out variable x.

x(a^2−a−8)=−a+8

Divide both sides by a^2-a-8.

x(a^2−a−8) / a^2−a−8 = −a+8 / a^2−a−8

\sf x =  \dfrac{-a+8}{a^2-a-8}

AysviL [449]

Answer:

y=770-55x --- given

y - 770 = 770 - 55x - 770 ----subtraction property of equality

y = -55x + 770 ---Simplification

y-770/-55 = -55x/-55 --- Division property of equality

-y-770/55=x---Simplification

When solving for x, what is x squared plus 15 equals -8x
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

x = - 5, x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 15 = - 8x ( add 8x to both sides )

x² + 8x + 15 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)

The factors are 5 and 3, since

5 × 3 = 15 and 5 + 3= 8, thus

(x + 5)(x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
