Answer:

the answer is -11 sir

Step-by-step explanation:    Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5+x−2=−8

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5+x−2=−8

5+x+−2=−8

(x)+(5+−2)=−8(Combine Like Terms)

x+3=−8

x+3=−8

Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.

x+3−3=−8−3

x=−11

Which properties would you use to simplify the following expression? log (17x3)
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Did you mean log (17*3)?  If so, your log (17x3) becomes log 17 + log 3.

Did you mean  log 17^3?  If so, log 17^3 = 3 log 17.

Did you mean log 17*x*3?  If so, this equals log 17 + log x + log 3

Russell and Aaron can build a shed in 8 hours when working together. Aaron works three times as fast as Russel. How long would i
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

32 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the time taken by Russell and Aaron to build the shed.

We have been given that Russell and Aaron can build a shed in 8 hours when working together. Aaron works three times as fast as Russel.

Russell's work rate would be \frac{1}{x}.

Since Aaron works three times as fast as Russel, so Aaron's work rate would be \frac{3}{x}.

Part of work done by in one hour would be \frac{1}{8}.

We can represent our given information in an equation as:

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{3}{x}=\frac{1}{8}

Let us solve for x.

\frac{1}{x}*8x+\frac{3}{x}*8x=\frac{1}{8}*8x

8+3*8=x

8+24=x

32=x

Therefore, it will take Russell 32 hours to build the shed working alone.
