Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{x=24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-5x + 12x - 8x = -24$

Combine all like terms.

$(-5+ 12- 8)x = -24$

$-x=-24$

Multiply both sides by -1.

$x=24$

Answer:

x must be 24

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you meant " -5x + 12x - 8x = -24

Combine the x terms on the left side, obtaining -x = -24.

Then x must be 24

Y=3×+7 y=×-9 what is the solution of the equation

Aneli [31]

Since both equations are equal to y you can just make them equal to each other, like this 3x + 7 = x - 9. From there isolate the varible x on one side so that the solution will be on the other side of the equation. I'll do the steps too for you.

3x + 7 = x - 9

2x + 7 = -9

2x = -16

x = -8

Hope this helps :)

How can you rewrite the expression (8-5i)^2 in the form of a +bi

olchik [2.2K]

$\bf \textit{recall that }i^2=-1\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
(8-5i)^2\implies (8-5i)(8-5i)\implies 64-40i-40i+(5i)^2
\\\\\\
64-80i+(5^2i^2)\implies 64-80i+(25\cdot -1)\implies 64-80i+(-25)
\\\\\\
64-80i-25\implies 39-80i$

If a salesperson sells 3/4 of an acre for $80,000, what was the price per square foot rounded to two decimal spaces?

Julli [10]

Now, recalling that for 1 yard, there are 3 feet, therefore $\bf \begin{array}{ll}
yards&feet\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
1yd&3ft\\
(1yd)^2&(3ft)^2\\
yd^2&3^2ft^2\\
&9ft^2
\end{array}$

and keeping in mind that, there are 4840 yd² in 1 acre, then

$\bf \cfrac{\quad \frac{3}{4}~\underline{acre}\quad }{80000~\$}\cdot \cfrac{4840~\underline{yd^2}}{\underline{acre}}\cdot \cfrac{9~ft^2}{\underline{yd^2}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{3}{4}\cdot4840\cdot 9~ft^2}{80000~\$}\implies \cfrac{\frac{130680}{4}}{80000}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\frac{130680}{4}}{\frac{80000}{1}}\implies \cfrac{130680}{4}\cdot \cfrac{1}{80000}\implies \cfrac{3267}{8000}~\frac{ft^2}{\$}~\approx~ 0.408375 ~\frac{ft^2}{\$}$

The area of a rectangle is 3/8 in and the length is 5/8 What is the width?

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The width W is :

$W=\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the area of the rectangle

Let L be the length of the rectangle

Let W be the width of the rectangle

______

Formula:

A = L × W

__________

$\begin{aligned}A &=L \times W \\\Rightarrow W &=\frac{A}{L} \\\Rightarrow W &=\frac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{5}{8}} \\&=\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{8}{5} \\&=\frac{3 \times 8}{8 \times 5} \\&=\frac{3}{5}\end{aligned}$
