Answer:  x = 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x-4) = 8     apply the distributive property on the left side

6x - 12= 8       Add 12 to both sides

     +12   +12

6x = 20     Divide both sides by 6

x= 20/6 which simplifies to 10/3

Answer:

x = 3.33... or 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x - 4) = 8

distribute the 3 into the parentheses

3 • 2x = 6x

3 • -4 = -12

6x - 12 = 8

add 12 to both sides

6x = 20

divide both sides by 6

x = 3.33... or 10/3

A department store has a discount on shoes based on percentage of the price. Suppose one pair of shoes is marked down 70$ to 49$
pentagon [3]
<span><span>1.       </span>A department store has a discount on shoes based on percentage of price.
=> one pair of shoes marked down from 70 dollars to 49  dollars
=> let’s solve for the percentage rate.
=> 70 – 49 = 21, the than ½ of the price
=> 70 x 30% = 21
Thus, the percentage rate is 30%
For the pair of shoes that is 110 dollars
=> 110 * .30 = 33
=> 110 – 33 = 77
Thus, the price of pair of shoes is now 77 dollars.</span>

The height of a triangle is 4 inches greater than the base. The area of the triangle is 70 square inches.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer: 10 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve a system of equations.

The formula to calculate a triangle area is A = (b.h)/2

where b is the base and h is the height. This will be our first equation.

Since the height is 4 inches greater than the base, the second equation will be: h = b+4

We replace h and the value of the area (70 square inches) in the first equation, and we solve it by using the cuadratic equation formula:

70 = (b . (b+4)) / 2

70 . 2 = b² + 4b

140 = b² +4b

0 = b² + 4b - 140

The roots of this polynomial are -14 and 10. Since a distance can't be negative, the length of the base is 10 inches.
