Answer:
-4 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+8=3x
Subtract 5x from each side
5x-5x+8=3x-5x
8 = -2x
Divide by -2
8/-2 = -2x/-2
-4 =x
The easy thing to do is eliminate x by subtraction
x + 7y = 24
- x - 9y = -24
-------------------
16y = 48
now solve for y and then substitute the value into either original equation to find x
Answer: 1/8x
Step-by-step explanation:
y= 1/8x
below are the x:y relationships
x:y
4:0.5
8:1
12: 1.5
16:2
20:2.5
24:3
28:3.5
32:4
etc.
Answer:
EF = 58/7
Step-by-step explanation:
If you extend both BC and AD to meet at P you get 3 similar triangles PAB, PEF, and PCD. Let's call BF = 3x and FC = 4x. Therefore the following proportions can be expressed:
BP/7 = (BP+7x)/10
10BP = 7*(BP+7x)
10BP = 7BP+49x
3BP = 49x
BP = (49/3)x
BP/7 = (BP+3x)/EF
EF = (BP+3x)*7/BP
EF = ((49/3)x + 3x)*7/((49/3)x)
EF = ((58/3)x*7*3)/(49x)
EF = 58/7
