Let us suppose the number is x. Now we try to make an algebraic expression going step by step.
Step 1:
Five times the number means 5 multiplied by x.
So it becomes 5x.
Step 2:
Sum of 14 and five times the number means 5x+14.
Step 3:
Number multiplied by -8 means -8x.
Step 4:
Subtract the expression in step (3) from expression in step (2)
5x+14-(-8x)
Now we can simplify it further,
5x+14+8x
Combining like terms,
13x+14
Answer: The final expression becomes 13x+14.
-1 1/5 + 3/4 = -0.45
1/5 is 0.2 in decimal form, and 3/4 is 0.75:
-1.2 + 0.75 = -0.45
Hope this helps!
<span>If y varies directly with x, the formula of the equation is y=ax, where a is a constant.
y=ax
(21)=a(7)
a=3
y=ax
y=(3)(-1.66)
y=-4.98, x=-1.66
If y varies inversely with x, the formula of the equation is y=a/x, where a is a constant
y=a/x
9=a/2.5
a=22.5
y=22.5/x
y=22.5/-0.6
y=-37.5
I hope this helped! =)
I hope you didn't mind but I got this from a website called: answers.yahoo.com but I got your answer.

<span>Determine which one of the following is the correct application of the change of base formula?
a)log3 14= log10 14/3
b)lo4 17= log10 4/ log10 17
c)log8 3= log10 3/log10 8
d)log9 32 = log10 32-log10 9
The change of base formula is as follows:
log to the base 10 of x
log to the base b of x = ----------------------------------
log to the base 10 of b
Compare this to answer choice C:
</span><span>c)log8 3= log10 3/log10 8 Here x = 3 and b = 8. This is the only correct choice.</span><span>
