X=number of years that Ethas was 5 times older than his son.
we suggest this equation:

40-x=5(12-x)
40-x=60-5x
-x+5x=60-40
4x=20
x=20/4=5

answer. 5 years.

180+8x=160+6x help me find x
lianna [129]

Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

180 + 8x = 160 + 6x

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Subtract 6x on both sides: 180 + 2x = 160
  2. Subtract 180 on both sides: 2x = -20
  3. Divide both sides by 2: x = -10

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

180 + 8(-10) = 160 + 6(-10)

180 - 80 = 160 - 60

100 = 100

Jenna wants to build 8 birdhouses. She needs 2 3/5 square feet of plywood for each birdhouse. If the plywood costs $0.56 per squ
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

$11.76

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to find the amount of plywood for all birdhouses.

2 3/5 * 8 = 104/5 or 20.8 or 20 4/5

Now we can solve the cost for all the birdhouses by multiplying the total amount of plywood needed by the price per square foot.

20.8 * 0.56 = $11.648 or estimated $11.65

Remember, the question might be different, so don't submit anything yet. If the people who sell the plywood only sell in integer numbers (meaning you can't buy 4/5 of a square foot of wood but can only by amounts with no fractions), then Jenna must buy 21 square feet of plywood and will have a little bit of wood left over. Now solve just like before.

21 * 0.56 = $11.76

Therefore the answer is $11.76 if she can only buy an integer amount of plywood or estimated $11.65. I think the best answer is 11.76.
