8x + 4 = 5x - 11
Subtract 5x from both sides:
3x + 4 = -11
Subtract 4 from both sides:
3x = -15
Divide both sides by 3:
x = -5
Answer : x = -5
Here is the solution based on the given problem above.
Given: Area of the piece of paper = 84 square inches
Width = 10 1/2 or 10.5 inches long
? = length of the piece of paper
To find the area of an object, the formula would be A= L x W
Now, let's substitute the given values above
84in2 = L(10.5in)
Now, divide both sides with 10.5 and we get 8.
L = 8 inches.
Therefore, the length of the paper is 8 inches.
Hope this solution helps.
Answer:
b. Subtracting the base period amount from the analysis period amount, dividing the result by the base period amount, then multiplying that amount by 100%
Step-by-step explanation:
A percentage change can be computed from ...
((new amount) -(old amount))/(old amount) × 100%
This best matches the description of choice B.
_____
<em>Comment on the answer</em>
The formula offered in the question will show the "percent change" from 100 to 103 as 3. It is not 3; rather, it is 3%. The final multiplication must be by 100% in order to arrive at the proper number.
5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15
-15 -15 subtract 15 from each side
5(2x - 8) = -30
÷5 ÷5 divide both sides by 5
2x - 8 = -6
+8 +8 add 8 to each side
2x=2
÷2 ÷2 divide both sides by 3
x = 1
Checking:
5(2(1)-8) + 15 = -15
5(-6) + 15 = -15
-30 + 15 = -15
-15 = -15 Correct! x=1
