<span>6( 5-8x) +12= -54
30-48x+12=-54 this comes from distributing(multiplying) 6x5 and 6 times -8x
30+12-48x=-54 you have to add the coefficients 30+12
42-48x=-54
-42 -42
-----------------------
-48x=-96 divide by -48

Given:
The equation is,

Explanation:
Simplify the equation by using logarthimic property.

Simplify further.

Solve the quadratic equation for x.

From the above equation (x - 6) = 0 or (x - 3) = 0.
For (x - 6) = 0,

For (x - 3) = 0,

The values of x from solving the equations are x = 3 and x = 6.
Substitute the values of x in the equation to check answers are valid or not.
For x = 3,

Equation satisfy for x = 3. So x = 3 is valid value of x.
For x = 6,

Equation satifies for x = 6.
Thus values of x for equation are x = 3 and x = 6.
300 is the original amount and 0.5 is the rate (a percent) which is deacying because it is less than 1
Answer:
about 15.328 yrds
Step-by-step explanation:
two sides are 5 yrds, so 5+5= 10yrds. two sides are 8 ft, 8+8=16 ft. there are .3333 yrds in 1 foot so 16*.3333 = about 5.328yrds
10+5.328 = 15.328
