Answer: x= -8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 x + 2 = -5x/8 - 5

x/4 + 2 = -5x / 8 - 5

we collect like term

x/4 + 5x / 8 = -5 - 2

2x + 5x / 8 = -7

7x / 8 = -7

cross multiply

7x = -56

Divide bothside by 7

7x / 7 = -56/7

x = -8

You have to watch 30 movies to earn a free movie pass.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Points earned for each movie = 2 points

Current points = 40 points

Free movie pass = 100 points

Let,

x be the number of movies you have to watch.

2*number of movies + current points = 100

$2x+40=100$

Subtracting 40 from both sides

$2x+40-40=100-40\\2x=60$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{60}{2}\\x=30$

You have to watch 30 movies to earn a free movie pass.

The length of LM,hypotenuse is 55.866ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that LN=39ft and MN=40ft so you can solve it using Pythogoras' Theorem:

side²+side² = hypo²

LN² + MN² = LM²

hypo² = 39²+40²

= 3121

LM = √3121

= 55.866ft (3d.p)
