<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

Damien is buying tickets to a movie. The movie he and his friends want to watch cost $4.85 per ticket. Damien has $32.00 total.

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Setup a equation.

32=4.85x (x equals amount of people)

Then divide both sides.

x=6.60

Obviously you can't split a person into .6, so the greatest amount of tickets is 6

HELP MEEE RNNNNNNNNNNNNN

As this rectangle has it's sides parallel to x axis and y axis

it is easy to find the length of it's sides by counting the number of blocks on each sides.

Let us first find co ordinates of all four points

we would calculate them left and right and up down direction from the origian ( the cross point of x and y axis )

A : it is 2 unit left 2 unit up ( -2 , +2 )

B is 5 unit right 2 unit up ( +5 ,+2)

C is 5 unit right 2 unit down ( +5,-2)

D is 2 unit left 2 unit down ( -2,-2)

Let us now find the distance AB : A is 2 unit left B is 5 unit right so length AB= 2+5 = 7

Let us now find distance AD : A is 2 unit up and D is 2 unit down

so length AD= 2+2= 4

Answer should be 7 x 4 units
