Hey!


To solve this problem we'll divide both sides by -15. Doing this will get x on its own.

<em>Original Equation :</em>
-15x = 240

<em>New Equation {Changed by Dividing Both Sides by -15} :</em>
\frac{-15x}{-15} = \frac{-240}{-15}

Alright, now we simplify solve the equation.

<em>Old Equation :</em>
\frac{-15x}{-15} = \frac{-240}{-15}

<em>Solved {Old Equation Solved} :</em>
x = 16

<em>Now we know that in the equation -15x = -240,</em>  x = 16.

Hope this helps!

You divide -15 on both sides to keep the x alone
-240/ -15=16
A negative divided by a negative is a positive so x=16

If 15 mi = 8 km, about how many miles would be equal to 50 km?
Anon25 [30]
Use ratios to solve

15 m/8 km = x m/50 km Cross multiply
15(50) = 8x
750 = 8x divide by 8 on both sides
93.75 = x

93.75 miles = 50km

I'm stuck. what do i do next??
Aneli [31]
Here is your solution,
(-5)^2 - √25 - 4 x (-14)/2
25 - √ 25 + 56/2
25 - √81/2
(25 - 9)/2 = 16/2 = 8

or
25 + √25 +56/2
25 + √81/2
(25 + 9)/2 = 34/2 = 17

So m = 8,17
