Cross-multiply so that 8(3x + 1) = 14(2x)
Distribute the 8 and 14 into the parentheses:
24x + 8 = 28x
Subtract 24x from both sides:
8 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 2
Answer:
that is the solution to the question
Answer:
r=d/t
Step-by-step explanation:
d=rt
we are to make r the subject of the formula, so we remove t from the rhs.
we do this by dividing both sides by t
d divided by t= d/t and rt divided by t = r
therefore d/t =rt/t
= r=d/t
Answer:
x = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked angles are supplementary, so their sum is 180°.
(2x +8) +(2x +4) = 180
4x +12 = 180 . . . . . . . . . simplify
x +3 = 45 . . . . . . . divide by 4 (because we can)
x = 42 . . . . . . subtract 3

<em>Additional comment</em>
A "two-step" linear equation like this one is usually solved by subtracting the unwanted constant, then dividing by the coefficient of the variable. Here, we have done those steps in reverse order. This makes the numbers smaller and eliminates the coefficient of the variable. Sometimes I find it easier to solve the equation this way.
Answer:
B) 0.60n+1.48n = 176.80
Step-by-step explanation:
0.60 for every spiral wire per book = 0.60*n
0.74 per chipboard cover, 2 needed for each book = 1.48 per book = 1.48*n
Put it together: 0.60n+1.48n = 176.80
