Answer:

The number x is -3

Therefore x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given problem is "Three added to eight times a number is the same as three times the value of two times the number -1"

Let x be the number

It can be written as

3+8\times x=3(2\times x-1)

3+8x=3(2x-1)  ( applying the distributive property )

3+8x=3(2x)+3(-1)

3+8x=6x-3

subtracting (6x-3) on both sides we get

3+8x-(6x-3)=6x-3-(6x-3)

3+8x-6x+3=6x-3-6x+3

6+2x=0 ( ading the like terms )

2x=-6

x=-\frac{6}{2}

Therefore x=-3

The number x is -3

Quadrilateral A has side lengths 2,3,5 and 6. Quadrilateral B has side lengths 4,5, 8 and 10. Could one of the quadrilaterals be
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadrilateral A: 2,3,5 and 6

Quadrilateral B: 4,5, 8 and 10

Required

Determine if one is a scale of another

To do that, we have to divide the corresponding lengths to give ratio.

Considering Side of A = 2 and Side of B = 4

Ratio = \frac{B}{A}

Ratio = \frac{4}{2}

Ratio = 2

Considering Side of A = 3 and Side of B = 5

Ratio = \frac{B}{A}

Ratio = \frac{5}{3}

Ratio = 1.67

There's no need to check further, since the two ratios calculated so far do not have the same value;

<em>Hence, one quadrilateral is not a scale of the other</em>

Which of the following equations has no solution?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

B. 3x+5−4x=−(x+8)

Explanation:

3x+5−4x=−(x+8)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3x+5−4x=−(x+8)

3x+5+−4x=−x+−8

(3x+−4x)+(5)=−x−8

−x+5=−x−8

−x+5=−x−8

Step 2: Add x to both sides.

−x+5+x=−x−8+x

5=−8

Step 3: Subtract 5 from both sides.

5−5=−8−5

0=−13

So, there is no solution

Hope this Helps!
