To solve 1/8x = -5 , you will need to multiply both sides of the equation by 8. once you do that you will get the answer:
x= -40
let me know if you have any other questions

1/8x = -5

isolate the x, remember that what you do to one side, you do to the other (because of equal sign)
1/8x(8) = -5(8)

x = -5(8)

x = -40

<u>Note:</u> two positive numbers multiplied or divided = positive answer. One negative and one positive number multiplied or divided = negative answer. Two negative numbers multiplied or divided = positive answer

hope this helps

Oil consumption in China grew exponentially from 8.938 million barrels per day in 2010 to 10.480 million barrels per day in 2013

Afina-wow [57]

Let the year represents x axis and consumption represents y axis.

Since 2010 is the initial year, x=0

and 2013 is third year , so x=3

Co-ordinates are (0,8.938)(3,10.480)

Exponential formula is $y=ab^{x}$

Putting the value of x in the above formula from 1st coordinate,

$8.938=ab^{0}$

As $b^{0}$ = 1

this gives a= 8.938

Now using the 2nd coordinate

$10.480=ab^{3}$

putting the value of a in it we have

$10.480=8.938b^{3}$

taking cube roots on both sides we get

b= 1.05448

Now putting the values of a and b in the exponential formula-

$y=8.938(1.05448)^{x}$

In the year 2028, x=28

so,

$y=8.938(1.05448)^{28}$

y= 39.474

Hence oil consumption per day in 2028 will be 39.474 million barrels.

A minor league baseball team plays 128 games a seanson. If the tam won 16 more than three times as many games as they lost how m

tiny-mole [99]

Answer: The team won 100 games and losses 28 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of games won denoted by x and the games lost is denoted by y .

Given : A minor league baseball team plays 128 games in a season.

Team won 16 more than three times as many games as they lost.

Then, the system of equations, we have

$x+y=128-------(1)\\\\x=3y+16------------(2)$

We can rewrite equation (2) as $x-3y=16----------------(3)$

Now, Eliminate equation (3) from (1), we get

$y-(-3y)=128-16\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4y=112\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{112}{4}=28$

Substitute the value of y in (2), we get

$x=3(28)+16=84+16=100$

Hence, the team won 100 games and losses 28 games.

Someone do this please cause i fell asleep in class

Gas in July is 2.3 times Gas in June
That means Gas in July (252.57) equals 2.3 times gas in June, or “n”
242.57= 2.3 x n and solve for n
Divide both sides by2.3
Calculator gives 105.465
Rounded to nearest HUNDRED is 100

Rounded to nearest HUNDREDTH would be 105.47
Check the answer to see if July gas is 2.3 times June gas
June gas 105.47 x 2.3 is 242.57
So the answer is 105.47 Rounded to nearest hundredth
