8x - 23 = -x + 18 is how I'm interpreting your query.

"the opposite of the number" is slightly confusing, so I'm assuming you mean a negative. If not, please let me know.

We can solve for x using this equation.

8x - 23 = 18 - x

<em><u>Add x to both sides</u></em>

9x - 23 = 18

<em><u>Add 23 to both sides</u></em>

9x = 41

<em><u>Divide both sides by 9</u></em>

x = 4.56

{y}^{2}  - 1 = 48 \\  {y}^{2}  = 49 \\ y =  \sqrt{49}  \\ y =  - 7 \: or \: 7

{y}^{2}  - 1 = 24 \\  {y}^{2}  = 25 \\ y =  \sqrt{25}  \\ y =  - 5 \: or \: 5

Clayton says that 2 1/2 + 3 3/5 will be more than 5 but less than 6 since 2 + 3 is 5. Is Clayton’s reasoning correct? Prove him
antoniya [11.8K]
He is wrong...

2 1/2 + 3 3/5 = 97/20

Simplified, I believe the answer is 4 17/20

Red ribbons are wrapped around all the columns of a building. Each ribbon does not overlap itself. Each column has a radius of 3
Roman55 [17]

Hello!

If this long ribbon measures 144\pi feet, you can see, it was only multiplied by one number, which has the be the diameter of a column to get our circumference. If we divide this by our diameter 6 (diameter is double the radius, 3), we get our answer below.

144/6=24

Therefore, our answer is C) 24.

I hope this helps!
