In this question, you're solving for x.

Solve for x:

2(4 - 8x) + 5(2x - 3) = 20 - 5x

Use the distributive property:

8 - 16x + 5(2x - 3) = 20 - 5x

8 - 16x + 10x - 15 = 20 - 5x

Combine like terms:

8 - 16x + 10x - 15 = 20 - 5x

8 - 6x - 15= 20 - 5x

-6x - 7 = 20 - 5x

Add 5x to both sides

-x - 7 = 20

Add 7 to both sides

-x = 27

Divide both sides by -1

x = -27

Answer:

x = -27

20 POINTS PLEASE HELP QUICKLY!!
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

They will each have saved $70.

Jessica is saving at a faster rate than Raphael.

The rate at which Jessica is adding to her savings is $4 per week more than the rate at which Raphael is adding to his savings.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Jessica’s savings is

y = 10x + 20

She is saving at the rate of $10/wk .

From Raphael’s table, he started with $40 and is saving at the rate of $6/wk.

The formula for Raphael’s savings is

y = 6x +40

When the two savings are equal

10x + 20 = 6x + 40     Subtract 20 from each side

       10x = 6x + 20     Subtract 6x from each side

        4x = 20              Divide each side by 4

          x = 5

Their savings will be equal after five weeks.

=====

After five weeks , Jessica will have saved

y = 10×5 + 20  

y = 50 + 20

y = $70

Raphael has also saved $70.

=====

Jessica is saving at a faster rate than Raphael.

She is saving at the rate of $10/wk, while he is saving at the rate of $6/wk.

The rate at which Jessica is adding to her savings is $4/wk more than the rate at which Raphael is adding to his savings.

The red line in the graph shows that Jessica starts with $20. After five weeks, she has caught up to Raphael, who also has $70 after five weeks.

Solve for the unknown variable: -8m - 9 = 39
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

m =-6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the unknown variable, m, we have to get m by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation.

-8m-9=39

9 is being subtracted from-8m, so add 9 to both sides. Addition is the opposite of subtraction.

-8m-9+9=39+9

-8m=39+9

-8m=48

-8 and m are being multiplied. Divide both sides by -8, because division is the opposite of multiplication

-8m/-8=48/-8

m=48/-8

m= -6

what is true about the solutions of a quadratic equation when the radical in the quadrant formula is negative
lisov135 [29]

Since the square root of a negative number is not a real number, then a negative radical will result in no real solution.
