The equation is 2 by 3 x -8 is equal to 4 by 8

2 X by 3 is equal to 4 + 6 all by 8

X equal to 4.2

hence the number is 4.2

Answer:

The correct answer is that the number is 12.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

While this question is written in a convoluted manner, it is asking you to decrease 2/3x by 8. This is the expression for that.

2/3x - 8

And it is saying that it is equal to 4/8, which can be simplified to 1/2.

2/3x - 8 = 1/2

Now we can solve for the x.

2/3x - 8 = 1/2

2/3x = 17/2

x = 12.75

xenn [34]

Answer:

Incomplete questions

Check attachment for correct question.

The correct answer is

A. ∠JXM and ∠NXP are complementary

step explanation:

line JP is a straight line and sum of angle on a straight line is 180°.

There are three angles on this straight line JP which are ∠JXM, ∠NXP and ∠MXN

Note: from the attachment, it is shown that ∠MXN is a right angle i.e. 90°.

Then, sum of angle on this line is 180°.

∠JXM + ∠NXP + ∠MXN = 180°

∠JXM + ∠NXP + 90° = 180°

∠JXM + ∠NXP = 180° — 90°

∠JXM + ∠NXP = 90°

From the definition of complementary angles : Two Angles are said to Complementary if their sum is 90° (a Right Angle).

They don't have to be next to each other, just so long as the sum is 90 degrees.

Then, since ∠JXM + ∠NXP add up to 90°, it shows that ∠JXM and ∠NXP are complementary

So the correct option is A

Solve for x.<br><br> 7 - (2x + 11) + 3(3 - x) = 20<br><br> 7/5<br> -3<br> -4
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

You will have to distribute first

7 -2x -11 + 9 -3x = 20

Then, combine you like terms

-2x -3x = -5x

7 -11 +9 =5

Then you write it as an equation

-5x +5 = 20

Next you will want to have x by itself which means you have to get rid of the 5 by substracting 5 on each side (opposite of addition is substraction)

-5x = 15

Then you divide each side by -5 ( opposite of multiplication is division)

x= -3

Hope this helped :D
