Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First u need to distribute the -1 to (x + 4), creating the equation, -8 = -x - 4. Then add the -4 to both sides, and you get, -4 = -x. Then divide by -1 to both sides, and x = 4.

-8=-(x+4)

Pretend that there is a -1 in front of the bracket.

Multiply the bracket by -1

(-1)(x)(-1)(4)

-8=-x-4

Move -4 to the other side. Sign changes from -4 to +4.

-8+4=-x-4+4

-4=-x

Multiply both sides by -1 to get +x.

-4(-1)=(-x)(-1)

x=4

Answer: x=4

Roger owns a one-acre piece of land. The length of the land is 484 feet. What is the width of his property?
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

W = 90 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

1 acre = 43,560 ft^2

A (area) = L (length) x W (width),

L = 484

A = 43560

W = A/L

= 43560/484

= 90 ft

A line passes through the point (-2,7) and had a slope of -5
Annette [7]

Answer:

a = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for a straight line is y = mx+c, where m is the gradient/ slope, so m = -5. The first thing we need to do is find c, which we do by plugging in the x and y values that we already know: y = 7 and x = -2

7 = -5*(-2) + c

7 = 10 + c

c = 7-10 = -3

Now, we have the general equation of y = -5x -3 and we can use this to find a.

We'll treat a as x and y will be equal to 2:

2 = -5a -3

5 = -5a (Divide both sides by 5)

-a = 1 (now by -1)

a = -1
