-8(r-2)=40 what is the answer to this equation

The answer is r=-3. You use the distributive property which is basically multiplying -8 with all the numbers inside the parenthesis. So -8 x r and -8 x -2. This results to -8r+16=40 (Two negative numbers multiplied together will form a positive number). We use inverse operations to subtract 16 from both sides. 16-16 is 0 and 40-16 is 24. So we are left with -8r=24. We want to be left with only r, so we once again use inverse operations to divide -8 from both sides. -8/-8 is 1, and 24/-8 is -3. So we end up with r=-3. Hope this helped :]

HEHEHEHE HELP LOL IM NOT SMART ENOUGH FOR THIS 3
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
A is an absolute value if it is greater than zero. This simply means that an absolute value number will always be greater than zero. This is because absolute value is the distance from 0 on a number line. Keep in mind that distance cannot be negative. For example, look at the numbers 5 and -5. 5 is 5 spaces from 0, and -5 is also 5 spaces from 0, not -5 spaces from 0. Put simply, an absolute value number that is greater than 0, will always be positive.

Solve the equation,<br> —9x + 1 = -x + 17<br> №<br> ооооо<br> пппп<br> Noo
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x + 1 = -x + 17

To solve this equation

Note if there is more than one variable like x, y, or z

Also note the power of the variables, for example, x^2 or y^3

In this equation, there is only one variable which is x and it's also in the power of 1 ie x

Step 1 : rearrange according to like terms

-9x + x = 17 - 1

( don't forget that the sign always change on crossing an equals to, either + to - or - to +

-9x + x (also means 9 - 1 but only carries a negative sign)

= - 8x = 16

Dividing both sides by -8 to get the value of x

-8x / 8 = 16 /- 8

x = 16/ -8

x = -2
