So, you need to do the same operation to each side.
Start out by subtracting 3 from each side
1/4 (20x+8) = -3
Then, multiply both sides by 4
40x+8 = -12
Then, subtract 8 from each side
40x = -20
divide both sides by 40 and you get
x=-1/2

Hope this helped!

The first thing you should do is distribute 1/4 into (20x+8). You should do this first because of the order of operations:

Parenthesis
Exponent
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

5x+2+3=0

Add 2 and 3 together

5x+5=0

Subtract 5 from each side.

5x=-5

Finally, divide each side by 5

x=-1

To check our answer, substitute -1 in as x

1/4(20(-1)+8)+3=0
1/4(-20+8)+3=0
1/4(-12)+3=0
-3+3=0
0=0

x=-1

Hope this helped! Tell me if you have any other questions! :)

Lynna [10]

Answer:

13.8

Step-by-step explanation:

His dive once he hits the water and goes below the surface water line is in the same direction as his dive off the platform. That's very important when you start to consider direction. So you add. Be sure and read this paragraph again.

Dive = platform + under the surface

Dive = 10 + 3.8

Dive = 13.8
