(3x - 2) / (8) = (x/4) - 1

Multiply each side by 8 :

3x - 2 = 2x - 8

Add 2 to each side:

3x = 2x - 6

Subtract 2x from each side:

x = -6 .

\frac{3x-2}{8}= \frac{x}{4-1}
<em />
\frac{3x-2}{8}= \frac{x}{3}
<em>
Cross, Multiply :
</em>

3(3x-2) = 8x

9x-6 = 8x

9x - 8x - 6 = 0

9x - 8x = 6

\boxed{x = 6}



<em><u>Note :
</u></em><em>Remember this cross multiply formula :
</em>\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \to \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,(a \times d) = (b \times c)

-6n-20=-2n+4 (1-3n)<br> how do you solve it?
Leona [35]
6n−20=−2n+4(1−3n)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

−6n−20=−2n+4(1−3n)

−6n+−20=−2n+(4)(1)+(4)(−3n)(Distribute)

−6n+−20=−2n+4+−12n

−6n−20=(−2n+−12n)+(4)(Combine Like Terms)

−6n−20=−14n+4

−6n−20=−14n+4

Add 14n to both sides.

−6n−20+14n=−14n+4+14n

8n−20=4

Add 20 to both sides.

8n−20+20=4+20

8n=24

Divide both sides by 8.

8n/8 = 24/8

n=3

Answer:

6(√2 - 5√3).

Step-by-step explanation:

3√2 ( 2 - 5 √6)

= 6√2 - 15√12

= 6√2 - 15√4√3

= 6√2 - 30√3

= 6(√2 - 5√3)

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches longer than it is wide. If the area is 150 square inches, what are the dimensions of the r
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Width: 10 inches

Length: 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be w.

Since the length is 5 inches longer than its width, the length = w +5.

Area of rectangle = length x width

w (w +5) = 150

w^2 + 5w = 150

w^2 + 5w -150 = 0

Using quadratic formula,

w = 10 or -15

Since the width cannot be negative,

the width is 10 inches.

Now just substitute w=10 into length = w +5.

length = 10 + 5

= 15 inches
