Answer:

x = -4/5y + 8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

So to single out x we use the communicative property,

its the moving of numbers and variables to each side of the equation.

So we have,

-5x - 4y = -8

+4y

-5x = 4y - 8

Divide -5 by both sides,

x = -4/5y + 8/5

Thus,

the equation rearanged is x = -4/5y + 8/5.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Hey there!

Original Equation

-5x-4y=-8

Multiply by -1

5x+4y=8

Subtract 4y

5x=8-4y

Divide by 5

x=(8-4y)/5

Let me know if this helps :)

In this case, Gabriella flew 4 times with different distance. To answer this question you just need to add all the distance, The calculation would be:

Total distance = distance 1 + distance 2 + distance 3 + distance 4
Total distance = 8.05 meters+ 17.71 meters + 14.38 meters + 19.35 meters= 59.49 meters.

8+x/2=-12 i need help badly

Musya8 [376]

First subtract 8 from both sides
leaving you with x/2 = -20
Then multiply both sides by two to get rid of the denominator
which leaves you with x = -40
