Cross multiply.

4(x - 8) = 5(2)

4x - 32 = 10

4x = 42

x = 42/4

x = 21/2

x = 10.5

4(x - 8) = (2)(5)
4x - 32 = 10
4x = 42
x = 10.5

X=cost of one box of popcorn.
we can suggest this equation:

3x+1.75=9.25

3x=9.25-1.75
3x=7.5
x=7.5/3
x=2.5

Answer: the equation to find the cost of one box of popcorn is 3x+1.75=9.25, and the cost of one box of popcorn is $2.5.

Whats the answer to x^3 y^0 z^-2

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

$\frac{x^3}{z^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no given values, therefore we can't determine a definite answer. However, we are able to simplify the expression.

As we all know that any variable or number to the power of 0 is equal to 1. This means that $y^0 = 1$ .

We also know that a negative power can bring the variable down and make it a fraction. This means that $z^-^2=\frac{1}{z^2}$

Now that we got these two sorted we are able to write it in a simplified form.

Answer: $\frac{x^3}{z^2}$

(x+2)(x+8)(x+k)=x^3+9x^2+6x-16

(x^2+10x+16)(x+k)=x^3+9x^2+6x-16

x^3+10x^2+16x+kx^2+10kx+16k=x^3+9x^2+6x-16

kx^2+10kx+16k=-x^2-10x-16

k(x^2+10x+16)=-x^2-10x-16

k=(-x^2-10x-16)/(x^2+10x+16)

k=-1

so the width is (x-1)
