Answer:
6. x = 3
8. x = -7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the number in place of the expression it is equal to, then solve for x.
__
6) g(x) = -x +5
2 = -x +5 . . . . . . . . . g(x) is replaced by 2, because g(x) = 2
x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . . . add x to both sides
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2 from both sides
__
8) n(x) = -2x -21
-6 = -2x -21 . . . . . n(x) is replaced by its equal: -6
3 = x +10.5 . . . . . . divide both sides by -2
-7.5 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract 10.5 from both sides

<em>Additional comment</em>
We have shown a couple of ways these equations can be solved. You can separate the x-term and the constant terms before you divide by the x-coefficient, or you can do it after. In the first equation, we could have solved it ...
2 -x +5
-3 = -x . . . . subtract 5
3 = x . . . . . . multiply by -1
The way we did it avoids negative numbers.
Answer:
When there are 108 presents, there are 60 candy canes
Step-by-step explanation:
candy canes : presents = 5:9
5/9 = x/108
cross multiply:
(5) (108) = 9x
540 = 9x, divide both sides by 9
x = 60
Answer:
72°
Step-by-step explanation:
180-3x=2x
5x=180
x=36
Angle CBE = 2(36) = 72
To get a decimal form of a fraction, divide the numerator by the denominator.
7/8 = 0.875
