(1)
10(1+3x)=-20
Cross multiply.
10+30x=-20
Isolate x on one side. So you would subtract 10 on each side. and one side will cross each other out. leaving you with,
30x=-20-10
Subtract 10 from -20.
30x=-30
Divide each side by 30 to get x.
30x÷30=-30÷30
Therefore,
x=-1
(2)
-5x-8(1+7x)=-8
Cross multiply -8(1+7x)
-5x-8-56x=-8
Isolate all x's on one side. So you would add 8 on each side. and one side will cross each other out. leaving you with,
-5x-56x=-8+8
Add 8 to -8.
-5x-56x=0
Subtract -56x from -5x
-61x=0
Divide each side by -61
-61x÷-61=0÷-61
Therefore,
x=0
To exact form:

Answer:
y = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
8 : 4 : : y : 48
8 / 4 = y / 48
1 / 2 = y / 48
y = 48 / 2
y = 24
First compute the perimeter of the pool:
(21+33)*2=108 foot.
Since the material cover 232 ft^2, then it is sufficient to divide the above number over the length of the border like this:
232/108=2.1
The trip can be 2.1 ft in wide.
