Let's solve your equation step by step
-8=3-5(x+6)
Step 1: simplify both sides of the equation
-8=3-5(x+6)
-8=3+(-5)(x)+(-5(6) (distribute)
-8=3+-5x+-30
-8=(-5x)+(3+-30) (combine like terms)
-8=-5x+-27
-8=-5x-27
Step 2: flip the equation
-5x-27=-8
Step 3: add 27 to both sides
-5x-27+27=-8+27
-5x=19
Step 4: Divide both sides by -5
-5x/-5 = 19/-5
Answer : x= -19/5
Answer:
$337.5
Step-by-step explanation:
He would get $337.5 because if he gets $11.25 every hour you just multiply $11.25 by 30 hours.
Answer:
20 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
First problem:
The new speed is 26 mph.
The old speed was x.
The new speed is 30% higher than the old speed.
1.3x = 26
x = 20
Answer: 20 mph
Second problem:
A number, perhaps a percent or a fraction, is missing from the problem.
It sounds like everything is being described in reference to angle A, so a good starting point is to pick a variable to represent the measure of angle A. I'm going to use "a" for that.
Next, I'm going to take the verbal descriptions in the problem and "translate" them into "math language". They say angle B is 5 times angle A, so that means the measure of angle B is actually 5a. The size of angle C is 5 degrees less than 4 times the size of A, so that translates to 4a-5.
We now know the following:
Angle A: a
Angle B: 5a
Angle C: 4a-5
Now, to find the value of a, we need to remember that all the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
So we have: a+5a+4a-5 = 180
We can solve that equation by combining like terms to get: 10a-5=180
We can add 5 to both sides: 10a =185
And divide by 10: a = 18.5
That tells us the measure of angle A! (It's 18.5 degrees). Now we can go back and find B by multiplying A by 5. We get 92.5 degrees for that.
Finally, we can find C by taking 4*18.5-5. We get 69 degrees for that.
One last thing-- let's check that they really do add up to 180! 69+92.5+18.5 = 180. Yep!
Hope that helps you!!
