4 ( x + 5 ) = x + 8
4 * x + 4 * 5 = x + 8
4 x + 20 = x + 8
4 x - x = 8 - 20
3 x = -12
x = -12 / 3
x = - 4
hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
The three angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees
x + 30 + (3x-10) = 180
Combine like terms
4x +20 = 180
Subtract 20 from each side
4x+20-20 = 180-20
4x= 160
Divide each side by 4
4x/4 =160/4
x = 40
You cannot solve for x but you can factor
to solve in ax^2+bx+c form you must find
b=x+y
a times c=x times y
so solve
3 times 3=9
what 2 number multily to get 9 and add to get 10
9=x times y
the numbers are 9 and 1 so
3x^2+1x+9x+3
(3x^2+1x)+(9x+3)
factor
(x)(3x+1)+(3)(3x+1)
reverse distribute
ab+ac=a(b+c)
(x)(3x+1)+(3)(3x+1)=(x+3)(3x+1)
factored out form is (x+3)(3x+1)
The correct answer is A: x=2 and y=-3. Either method would work, but for example, let's use elimination. If you multiply the second equation by 5, you get: 10x +5y = 5. When you add both equations, you can then cross out both y terms. You are left with one equation that reads: 13x=26. Solving for x gives you 2. You can substitute 2 in for x in either equation and you will receive -3 for your y value.
Answer:
First get the formula for your pattern in the form of TN. Where d represents your difference and a represents your first term. Then equate the -401 to your formula and solve for n
