<span>8 - 3x - 5x = -8
8 - 8x = -8
-8x = -8 - 8
-8x = -16
8x = 16
x = 16/8
x = 2</span>

You would combine the 3x - 5x since they both have a variable leaving you with 8-8x=-8 then you would subtract the positive 8 from the negative 8 because you want to get the variable alone. this leaves you with -8x=-16 then to get the variable alone you would divide by -8 giving you x=2

The length of a rectangle is twice its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 36 cm. Calculate the area of the rectangle
Pie
Length = 2(width)
perimeter = 36 cm

using variables where x = width and y = length

Perimeter = 2x + 2y = 36 cm
y = 2x

solving for length 2x + 2(2x) = 36 cm
                             2x + 4x = 36 cm
                             6x = 36 cm
                               x = 6 cm
                              
                          so y = 2(6 cm) = 12 cm

area of rectangle = 12 cm * 6 cm = 72 cm^2

What is the quadratic equation of least degree with zeros at 21 and -24
atroni [7]

Answer:

x^2 +3x -504

Step-by-step explanation:

Sort of do what you'd do to solve but in reverse.  You need 21 for a zero, so the binomial factor would be (x-21) since if you set that  = to zero you'd get 21.  Same for -24.  The binomial factor would be (x+24) since that would give you -24. Now that you have the two binomials, you can just multiply them and get the quadratic. :)

Can someone help me figure this out ?
asambeis [7]

Answer: AAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call the intersection point between AC and DE F.

I think he meant the two triangles AFE and DFC.

We know angle A is congruent to angle D.

We also know AE is congruent to DC.

There is also a hidden piece of evidence which is AFE is congruent to DFC due to vertical angles.

We know two angles and 1 side, so we can use AAS to figure out that the two smaller triangles are congruent.
