Solving for x
5x - 8 = 2x + 7
subtract 2x from both sides
5x - 2x - 8 = 2x - 2x + 7
3x - 8 = 7
add 8 to both sides
3x - 8 + 8 = 7 + 8
3x = 15


divide both sides by 3
3x/3 = 15/3
x = 5
Check answer by replacing x with 5 in the orginal equation
5x - 8 = 2x + 7
5(5) - 8 = 2(5) + 7
25 - 8 = 10 + 7
17 = 17

18 points were scored by one figure skating pair and that was 40% of their final score. What was the final score for that pair o
Phoenix [80]
18 points scored for a pair was 40 % of the final score
then final score is 100%
therefore if 40 % accounts for 18 points 
                 100 % = 18 / 40% *100%
                            = 45 points is the final score 
if we back calculate = 18 /45 *100 = 40%
Therefore the final score is 45 points

Use the perimeter to find the length of segment AD. This is the distance from A to D. Explain how you found your answer. Please
jekas [21]

Answer:

AD = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter = 18 units

BC = 4 units

CD = 3 units

Required:

Length of segment AD

Solution:

Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + AD

We can easily find AB,

AB = 6 units (distance from A to B)

Plug in the values

18 = 6 + 4 + 3 + AD

18 = 13 + AD

Subtract 13 from each side

18 - 13 = 13 + AD - 13

5 = AD

AD = 5 units
