Ok so first you need to identify what you are looking for... you need to find x. 
to do that you need toge it on one side. so cancel out the "-2x" on the left side by adding 2x(on both sides, don't forget you add common variables). now you should have something like this...
-15=8x+9
now all you have to do is get rid of the 9  by subtracting 9 on both sides
you should have 
-24=8x
 With that, all you have to do now is divide 8 into both sides and it should look like a fraction now

-24/8=8x/8
the 8x/8 will cancel out the 8 and you will have 
-24/8=x
Simplify that and you should get
-3=x
need me to explain it with fewer words?

The value of a small airplane depreciates exponentially every year after it is purchased. The value, in thousands of dollars, a(
ratelena [41]

Using an exponential function, it is found that the number 131.5 represents the initial value of the plane, in thousands of dollars.

<h3>Exponential function:</h3>

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, the function for the value of the airplane after t years is given by:

A(t) = 131.5(0.8)^t

Hence A(0) = 131.5, which means that the number 131.5 represents the initial value of the plane, in thousands of dollars.

What size does the radius of a sphere need to be for its volume to be larger than its surface area? HINT! It is less than 10. HI
Lera25 [3.4K]
We know that
volume of a sphere=(4/3)*pi*r³----> (r/3)*(4*pi*r²)
and
surface area of sphere=4*pi*r²
so
the volume of a sphere=(r/3)*surface area of sphere
therefore
if r=3
volume of a sphere=(3/3)*surface area of sphere
volume of a sphere=surface area of sphere

if r> 3
the term (r/3) is > 0
so
volume of a sphere > surface area of sphere

if r<3
the term (r/3) is < 0
so
volume of a sphere < surface area of sphere

examples
1) for radius r=3 units
volume of a sphere=(4/3)*pi*3³----> 113.04 unit³
surface area=4*pi*3²----> 113.04 units²
volume is equal to surface area

2) for radius r=10 units
volume of a sphere=(4/3)*pi*10³----> 4186.67 unit³
surface area=4*pi*10²----> 1256 units²
volume is > surface area

3) for radius r=2 units
volume of a sphere=(4/3)*pi*2³----> 33.49 unit³
surface area=4*pi*2²----> 50.24 units²
volume is <  surface area

what is 40% off of $712.00 please explain how you got your answer as if you were teaching me how to do it.
Vikentia [17]

Answer: $284.80

look when you are trying to find the percent of a number you need to turn the percent into a decimal then multiply the decimal by the number:

1st. 40% as a decimal is 0.40 because as a fraction 40% is 40/100 so that means that 1.00 is 100 and 0.40 is 40%

2nd. Next, you do 0.40 x 712.00 = or

712.00

x  0.40

______

$284.80
