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

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (3, 0)?

olga2289 [7]

Step $1$

Find the slope of the given line

Let

$A(-3,2)\ B(2,-1)$

slope mAB is equal to

$mAB=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)} \\ \\ mAB=\frac{(-1-2)}{(2+3)} \\ \\ mAB=-\frac{3}{5}$

Step $2$

Find the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the given line

Let

CD ------> the line that is perpendicular to the given line

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to $-1$

$mAB*mCD=-1\\ mAB=-\frac{3}{5} \\ mCD=-\frac{1}{mAB} \\ mCD=\frac{5}{3}$

Step $3$

Find the equation of the line with mCD and the point (3,0)

we know that

the equation of the line in the form point-slope is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)\\\\ y-0=\frac{5}{3} *(x-3)\\\\ y=\frac{5}{3} x-5$

Multiply by $3$ both sides

$3y=5x-15$

$5x-3y=15$

therefore

the answer is

the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line is the equation $5x-3y=15$
