____________________________________________________

Answer:

x = 4

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

We're solving the equation: -8=-(x+4)

Solve:

-8=-(x+4)

Distribute the negative to the variables in the parenthesis.

-8 = -x - 4

Add 4 to both sides

-4 = -x

Divide by -1

4 = x (same as x = 4)

What is 20-7n=8(n-2). Please show steps.
ipn [44]

First, you need to distribute the right side of the equation : 8n - 2

Now the equation is : 20 - 7n = 8n - 2

Add 2 to both sides : 22 - 7n = 8n

Add 7n to both sides : 22 = 15n

Divide both sides by 15 : ( I had to round this one) 1.5 = n

2 pipes running together can fill a cistern in 3 1÷3 min.if one pipe takes 3 min more than the other to fill it,find the time in
charle [14.2K]
It takes one pipe x minutes, the other pipe x+3 minutes
the portion filled per minute is by one pipe is 1/x, by the second pipe 1/(x+3)

when two pipes running together:
3&1/3[1/x+1/(x+3)] =1, 1 means the whole cistern
solve for x: 3&1/3(x+3) +3 1/3(x)=x(x+3)
6 &2/3 x +10 =x^2+3x
x^2- (3&2/3) x-10=0
3x^2-11x-30=0

this cannot be factored, so use the quadratic equation: 
x is about 5.5
x+3=8.5
