Answer:
x = -48.
Step-by-step explanation:
40 + 4x = 3x - 8
4x - 3x = - 8 - 40
x = -48.
Answer:
123.94
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be our number. First we have to write our equation.
The product of a number and -8 is represented as -8x (-8 multiplied by x). Remember that 'product' signifies multiplication.
The result is eight times the sum of x and 36. This is represented as 8(x + 36). We add x and 36 first because 8 has been multiplied by the sum of those two numbers.
So our equation is:
-8x = 8(x + 36)
We can now solve for x. First, expand the bracket.
-8x = 8x + 288
Next, subtract 8x from both sides. This will give us only one term containing x, which will make it easier to solve.
-8x - 8x = 8x + 288 - 8x
-16x = 288
Divide both sides by -16
x = -18
Answer:
x = s/2
Step-by-step explanation:
● s states have joined the union in 1788
● half of s have joined in 1889
Let x be the number of states that have joined in 1889
● x = (1/2)× s
● x = s/2
Answer:
c = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, c. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (& roots)
Multiplications
Divisions
Additions
Subtractions

First, subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:
9c + 6 (-6) = 24 (-6)
9c = 24 - 6
9c = 18
Next, divide 9 from both sides of the equation:
(9c)/9 = (18)/9
c = 18/9
c = 2
c = 2 is your answer.
