Answer:

x=−2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−3x−32=−2(5−4x)

−3x+−32=(−2)(5)+(−2)(−4x)(Distribute)

−3x+−32=−10+8x

−3x−32=8x−10

Step 2: Subtract 8x from both sides.

−3x−32−8x=8x−10−8x

−11x−32=−10

Step 3: Add 32 to both sides.

−11x−32+32=−10+32

−11x=22

Step 4: Divide both sides by -11.

−11x

−11

Answer:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the-2 with the 5 and the -4x

Add the 10 to the -32

Equation is now -3x +22=8x

Add the 3x to the 8x which equals 11x

Now divide the 22 and 11.

X= 2

Samantha has a shelf that is 95 over 4 inches wide. How many books can Samantha arrange on the shelf if each book is 5 over 4 in

love history [14]

Answer:

Option 1 - 19, because the number of books is 95 over 4 divided by 5 over 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Samantha has a shelf that is 95 over 4 inches wide.

To find : How many books can Samantha arrange on the shelf if each book is 5 over 4 inches thick?

Solution :

The thickness of shelf = $\frac{95}{4}$ inches

Each book thickness = $\frac{5}{4}$ inches

Let the total number of books that could be arranged in the shelf be 'n'.

$\text{Number\ of\ books\ arranged}=\dfrac{\text{Thickness\ of\ shelf}}{\text{Thickness\ of\ one\ book}}$

Substitute the values,

$n=\dfrac{\dfrac{95}{4}}{\dfrac{5}{4}}$

$n=\dfrac{95\times 4}{5\times 4}$

$n=\dfrac{95}{5}$

$n=19$

Therefore, option 1 is correct.

19, because the number of books is 95 over 4 divided by 5 over 4

Min-Jee is planting two rectangular flower beds. One bed is 2.78 feet by 4.81 feet, and the other bed is 2.78 feet by 5.61 feet.

Answer: $(2.78+4.81)(2.78+5.61)$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is attached.</h3><h3></h3>

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

$A=lw$

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

Then, you can notice that it can be obtained by multiplying the dimensions of the rectangle.

Knowing this, you can determine that the total area of the two flowers bed can be obtained by adding the products of their dimensions.

Since one of the rectangular flower bed is 2.78 feet by 4.81 feet and the other bed 2.78 feet by 5.61 feet, you can write the following expression to find the total area (in square feet)of the two beds:

$2.78*4.81 +2.78*5.61$

If you factor out 2.78:

$2.78(4.81 +5.61)$ or $(4.81 +5.61)2.78$

Therefore, the expression that does not represent the total area in square feet of the two beds, is:

$(2.78+4.81)(2.78+5.61)$

1. Last year a fishing license cost $52.00. This year the license will cost $46.80.

Talja [164]

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, get the drop in value by deducting the price this year from last year's price.

Value decrease=$52.00-$46.80=$5.20

To express it as a percentage, we divide it by the original price which was $52.00 then multiply by 100 hence the percentage decrease will be

$\frac {5.20}{52.00}\times 100=10\ %$

Therefore, the price decreases by 10%
