Answer:

Distribute 8 to all terms within the parenthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember to follow PEMDAS. The steps are:

 1) Distribute 8 to all terms within the parenthesis

8(x + 5) = 8(x) + 8(5) = 8x + 40

2) Isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS

8x + 40 = 56

2.5) Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other

8x + 40 (-40) = 56 (-40)

8x = 56 - 40

8x = 16

(8x)/2 = (16)/2

x = 16/2

x = 8

8 is your answer

sattari [20]

Answer:

From the attached graphic we see that

rhombus side =   Sqr Root [(Long Diagonal / 2) ^ 2 + (Short Diagonal / 2) ^ 2]

rhombus side =   Sqr Root [(24/2)^2 + (18/2)^2]

rhombus side =   Sqr Root [144 + 81]

rhombus side =  Sqr Root (225)

rhombus side = 15 feet

NEED HELP PLEASE ASAP!!!
Blababa [14]

Answer:

13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

213.21/15.8 --->  ((213.21)100)/((15.8)100)

21321/1580 = 13 R 781.

781/1580 = 0.49~~~

We only need to be concerned about the tenth and hundredth place digits.

The decimal tells us that it rounds up from 4, so it's 5.

Thus, the answers 13+0.5, which is 13.5

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-1,-7) and (-9,-2)?
nalin [4]

Answer: m = -5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for slope is rise over run, also known as:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

From the points (x, y), we can get all the variables we need.

(-1, -7) gives us x1 = -1 and y1 = -7

(-9, -2) gives us x2 = -9 and y2 = -2

If we plug all the values in, we get:

m = (-2 - (-7))/(-9 - (-1))

m = (-2 + 7)/(-9 + 1) the negatives cancel

m = (5)/(-8)

m = -5/8

Tanner is picking three varieties of apples at an orchard: Gala, Fuji, and Jazz. Each type of apple has a different cost per pou
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

2g + 2f = 5.16

7g + 9f = 21.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Gala = g ; Fuji = f ; jazz = j

g + f + j = 5.16 - - - (1)

j = g + f - - - (2)

From (1):

g + f + g + f = 5.16

2g + 2f = 5.16 - - - (3)

Total pound picked by Tanner = 12

3 Pounds of g ; 5 pounds of f

j = 12 - (5 +3) = 4 pounds

3g + 5f + 4j = 21.24 - - - (4)

3g + 5f + 4(g + f) = 21.24

3g + 5f + 4g + 4f = 21.24

7g + 9f = 21.24 - - - - - (5)
