5x-4=2x+8
+ 4          +4    Add 4 to both sides
5x=2x+12
-2x       -2x     Subtract 2x from both sides
3x=12
/3     /3           Divide by 3 on both sides
x=4

5x - 4 =2x +8
First you would subtract 2x on both sides
3x-4=8
Then add 4 on both sides
3x=12
Then divide by 3 on both sides
X=4

Can I please get help with this I give thanks

First one :
We divide it into two rectangles (the top one has dimensions 2in*4in)

The area of the top rectangle is 2*4=8 in^2

The second rectangle has dimensions 3*(5-3)=6 in^2
Hence the total area is 8+6=14 square inches

Second one :

We divide it into a rectangle (dimensions 11*17) and a triangle on the top.

The area of the rectangle is 11*17=187 m^2
The rectangle has dimensions 17 (base's length) and 23-11 (height) hence its area is 17*(23-11)/2=102 m^2

Hence the total area is 102+187=289 square meters

What is 70.59 rounded to the nearest whole number
stiks02 [169]

Since there is a 5 to the right of the decimal, you will round the number immediately to the left of the decimal up. So the nearest whole number would be 71.

ASAP: Hose A fills a water truck at the constant rate of 60 gallons every 15 minutes. Hose B fills a water truck at a constant r
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Hose A:

60 gallons every 15 minutes mean:

60 / 15 = 4 gallons per minute

For Hose B:

If we put x = 1, we can find gallons (y)  per minute (x)

y = 3 x

y = 3(1)

y = 3

That means 3 gallons per minute

Thus, the rate of Hose A is 1 gallon per minute more than the rate of Hose B. Option C is correct.

A large concrete mixing machine can mix a certain amount of concede in 12 hours, while a smallet one can mix
Andrews [41]

Answer:

[(1/12)(5/5) + (1/20)(3/3)](x hours) = 1

(5/60 + 3/60)x = 1

(8/60)x = 1 we can reduce 8/60 by dividing out a 4

(2/15)x = 1 x both sides by 15/2

x = 15/2

x = 7 1/2 or 7.5 hours
