Answer:

The correct answer is t = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we must first recognize that our goal is to get the variable t by itself. To do this, we should add 8 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -8 on the left side of the equation. This is modeled below:

t - 8 = - 3

t - 8 + 8 = -3 + 8

t = 5

Therefore, the correct answer is t = 5.

If we want to check our answer, we can plug in 5 for t in the original equation. If we do this, we get: 5 - 8 = -3, which is a true statement, so we know that we did the problem correctly.

Hope this helps!

Answer: $t=5$

Add 8 to both sides

$t-8+8=-3+8\\t=5$

A group of students are planning a mural at a wall the rectangular wall has dimensions of (6x+7) by (8x+5) and they are planning

zvonat [6]

Answer: $46x^2+73x+15$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be calculated with the formula:

$A=lw$

l: the length of the rectangle.

w: the width of the rectangle.

The area of the remaning wall after the mural has been painted, will be the difference of the area of the wall and the area of the mural.

Knowing that the dimensions of the wall are $(6x+7)$ by $(8x+5)$ , its area is:

$A_w=(6x+7)(8x+5)\\\\A_w=48x^2+30x+56x+35\\\\A_w=48x^2+86x+35$

As they are planning that the dimensions of the mural be $(x+4)$ by $(2x+5)$ , its area is:

$A_m=(x+4)(2x+5)\\\\A_m=2x^2+5x+8x+20\\\\A_m=2x^2+13x+20$

Then the area of the remaining wall after the mural has been painted is:

$A_{(remaining)}=A_w-A_m\\\\A_{(remaining)}=48x^2+86x+35-(2x^2+13x+20)\\\\A_{(remaining)}=48x^2+86x+35-2x^2-13x-20\\\\A_{(remaining)}=46x^2+73x+15$

An excellent swimmer is confident he can judge his speed in the water exactly. He bets he can swim two lengths of a 50-meter Oly

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The time needed at 2 meters per second for both rounds would be 100/2 s or 50 seconds. For the first lane he already used 50/1.5 -> 33.33 seconds, so he would need to cover the other 50 meters in exactly 16.67. 50m divided by the 16.67 seconds he has left means he has to swim at a speed of 3 meters per second.

The ratio of the corresponding side lengths of similar triangles is called the scale factor.
This means that all the sides of the small figure are multiplied by the same number to obtain the lengths of the corresponding sides of the large figure.
