Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

opening the bracket on the LHS, we have

-8x-40= -3x+x-7-3

-8x-40= -2x-10

collecting like terms

-8x+2x= -10+40

-6x= 30

divide both sides by -6

x= -5

Elis [28]

Answer:

The 35 pound bag

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide the price of the 25 pound bag by the number of pounds it has you get 0.81 dollars per pound

20.25 / 25 = 0.81

However if you divide the price of the 35 pound bag by the number of pounds it has you get 0.79 dollars per pound

27.65 / 35 = 0.79

This means you get more dog food for less in the larger 35 pound bag

so one fifth would be 76 seats and if you multiply it by 4 you get 304 which is four fifths of the seat.
