Answer:

m = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for m:

5 (m - 7) = -8 (3 m + 8)

Hint: | Write the linear polynomial on the left hand side in standard form.

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

5 m - 35 = -8 (3 m + 8)

Hint: | Write the linear polynomial on the left hand side in standard form.

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

5 m - 35 = -24 m - 64

Hint: | Move terms with m to the left hand side.

Add 24 m to both sides:

24 m + 5 m - 35 = (24 m - 24 m) - 64

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

24 m - 24 m = 0:

24 m + 5 m - 35 = -64

Hint: | Group like terms in 24 m + 5 m - 35.

Grouping like terms, 24 m + 5 m - 35 = (5 m + 24 m) - 35:

(5 m + 24 m) - 35 = -64

Hint: | Add like terms in 5 m + 24 m.

5 m + 24 m = 29 m:

29 m - 35 = -64

Hint: | Isolate terms with m to the left hand side.

Add 35 to both sides:

29 m + (35 - 35) = 35 - 64

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

35 - 35 = 0:

29 m = 35 - 64

Hint: | Evaluate 35 - 64.

35 - 64 = -29:

29 m = -29

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 29 m = -29 by 29:

(29 m)/29 = (-29)/29

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

29/29 = 1:

m = (-29)/29

Hint: | Reduce (-29)/29 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -29 and 29.

The gcd of -29 and 29 is 29, so (-29)/29 = (29 (-1))/(29×1) = 29/29×-1 = -1:

Answer: m = -1

MrRa [10]
Given:
Variable g is 8 more than variable w. ⇒ g = w + 8
Variable g is also 4 less than w ⇒ g = w - 4

g = w + 8 or w = g - 8
g = w - 4 or w = g + 4

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

the larger of two printers being used to print the payroll for a major corporation requres 40 min. to print the payroll.So the smaller printer's payroll printing rate is  

1 payroll per x min or  or  

>>...After both printers have been operating for 10 min, the larger printer malfunctions...<<

So the fraction of the payroll that the larger printer did in the 10 minutes

is  = payroll.

You can use the cosine rule for this - you might have to change some of the letters around for it to make sense though. Hope this helps!
