If you add the lengths of two sides, 12 and 14, you will get 28. Using the above theorem, the third side cannot be greater than or equal to 28. Therefore, the greatest possible whole-number length of the unknown side is 27.

If the first step in the solution of the equation 2x - 8 = 5x + 3 is "subtract 2x," then in the form of a paragraph, explain in

monitta

$x = \frac{-11}{3}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , If the first step in the solution of the equation 2x - 8 = 5x + 3 is "subtract 2x," then in the form of a paragraph, explain in complete sentences the next steps necessary to completely solve the equation for x. Let's solve this :

2x - 8 = 5x + 3

⇒ $2x - 8 = 5x + 3$

⇒ $(2x - 8)-2x = (5x + 3)-2x$ { subtract 2x from both side }

⇒ $0 - 8 = 5x-2x + 3$

⇒ $- 8 = 3x + 3$

⇒ $- 8 -3= 3x + 3-3$ { subtract 3 from both sides }

⇒ $- 11 = 3x + 0$

⇒ $- 11 = 3x$

⇒ $\frac{-11}{3} = \frac{3}{3} x$ { divide 3 from both sides }

⇒ $x = \frac{-11}{3}$

Omar scored an 82% on his first test of the quarter. Will a score of 38 our of 50 on the second test helo or hurt his grade? exp

melamori03 [73]

82% = 82/100

38/50 = 76/100

Average of 76 and 82 = 79

Getting a score of 38 out of 50 will hurt his grade, as it will bring the average down to 79%
