Answer:

x>4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Subtract by 5 from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>5-2x-5<8x-3-5</em>

<em>Simplify.</em>

<em>-2x<8x-8</em>

<em>Subtract by 8x from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>-2x-8x<8x-8-8x</em>

<em>Simplify.</em>

<em>-10x<-8</em>

<em>Multiply by -1 from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>(-10x)(-1)>(-8)(-1)</em>

<em>Simplify.</em>

<em>10x>8</em>

<em>Divide by 10 from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>10x/10>8/10</em>

<em>Simplify, to find the answer.</em>

<em>8/10=4/5</em>

<em>x>4/5 is the correct answer.</em>

<em>I hope this helps you, and have a wonderful day! </em>

Answer:

Isolating the x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solving this problem is to isolate the variable, x.

To do so, subtract 8x and 5 from both sides.

Step #1)

5 - 2x < 8x - 3

5 (-5) - 2x (-8x) < 8x (-8x) - 3 (-5)

-2x - 8x < -3 - 5

-10x < -8

B-4/6=b/2 solve for b
DIA [1.3K]
First you cross multiply.

2*(b-4)=6b

Then distribute the 2.

2b-8=6b

Minus 2b from each side.

-8=4b

Divide each side by 4.

-2=b

So -2 is your answer.

Does anyone know how to solve this?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

b = -125/9

Step-by-step explanation:

1 + log5 ( -9b) = 4

Subtract 1 from each side

1 -1+ log5 ( -9b) = 4-1

log5 ( -9b) = 3

Raise each side to the base 5

5^  log5 ( -9b) = 5^3

This will cancel the log5

-9b = 125

Divide each side by 9

-9b/-9 = 125/-9

b = -125/9

A trapezoid has a 60-degree angle and a 45-degree angle. What are the other angles?
pentagon [3]
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral which means the sum of the angles should be equal to 360 degrees. The other angles therefore should have the sum of 360 - 60 - 45 = 255 degrees. Since we do not have the figure it would be hard to specify the measure of each angle.

Find the missing length of the triangle. Round to the nearest tenth. a = _____, b = 7, c = 9
kogti [31]

Answer: Maybe 5.7

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this we are going to need to understand the pythagorean theorem. we can use it as a way to find this certain side. if we put these numbers in the theorem, we get a^2+49=81 (7^2=49 and 9^2=81), we can subtract 49 on both sides and get 32. We would also need to take out the power of 2 on the side of the a^2, so you would do the square root of a^2, which would just become a and the square root of 32, which if you crunch the numbers on a calculator. You would get 5.656..... then you round it to the nearest tenth and get 5.7.

Josiah has 3 packs of toy animals. eac pack has the same number of animals. josiah gives 6 animals to his sister stephanie. then
Nataliya [291]
To determine the number of animals in each pack, we need to understand each statement in the problem since these are key to obtaining the correct answer.

number of packs = 3
number of animals given to sister = 6
number of animals left = 9
total number of animals = 6+9 = 15

It is said the in each pack there is an equal number of animals. Therefore,

Number of animals per pack = 15 / 3 = 5 animals
