<h3><u>The value of x is equal to -2.</u></h3>
5(2x + 8) = -8x + 4
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
10x + 40 = -8x + 4
<em><u>Add 8x to both sides.</u></em>
18x + 40 = 4
<em><u>Subtract 40 from both sides.</u></em>
18x = -36
<em><u>Divide both sides by 18</u></em>
x = -2
Answer:
5x/x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
Numerator: 6x minus an x equals 5x.
Denominator: Since x and 1 are not like terms, they can't be combined. You just leave them as they were.

Answer:
B. 224
Step-by-step explanation: 42/60 means that 70 % of people ride the school bus. So 70 percent of 320 is 224. Hope this helps
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right use the tangent ratio to find x
tan22° =
= 
Multiply both sides by x
x × tan22° = 203 ( divide both sides by tan22° )
x =
≈ 502.5 m → B
X = adult tickets and x+58 = student tickets
Create the equation from the problem.
x + x + 58 = 708
Combine like terms.
2x +58 = 708
Subtract 58.
2x = 650
Divide by 2.
x = 325
Therefore, your answer is:
there were 325 adult tickets sold.
(Adding 58 to that number will get you the student tickets sold which is 383 if they ask.)
