(1)

10(1+3x)=-20

Cross multiply.

10+30x=-20

Isolate x on one side. So you would subtract 10 on each side. and one side will cross each other out. leaving you with,

30x=-20-10

Subtract 10 from -20.

30x=-30

Divide each side by 30 to get x.

30x÷30=-30÷30

Therefore,

x=-1

(2)

-5x-8(1+7x)=-8

Cross multiply -8(1+7x)

-5x-8-56x=-8

Isolate all x's on one side. So you would add 8 on each side. and one side will cross each other out. leaving you with,

-5x-56x=-8+8

Add 8 to -8.

-5x-56x=0

Subtract -56x from -5x

-61x=0

Divide each side by -61

-61x÷-61=0÷-61

Therefore,

x=0

Answer: About 12.083

Explanation:
In order to solve this you would use Pythagorean theorem.

You are given the length of the two legs (5 and 11)

So by plugging in 5 and 11 into A Squared plus B Squared = C Squared, you get that C^2= 146.

By finding the square root of both sides you get square root of 146, which is approximately 12.803
