Jose equation is -4(x+2) = 8x+16 says to jill “I can solve for the variable in this equation in at least 4 different ways
1 answer:
Answer:
that is step 1 and step 2 and step3
step 4
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−4(x+2)=8x+16
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−4(x+2)=8x+16
(−4)(x)+(−4)(2)=8x+16(Distribute)
−4x+−8=8x+16
−4x−8=8x+16
Step 2: Subtract 8x from both sides.
−4x−8−8x=8x+16−8x
−12x−8=16
Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.
−12x−8+8=16+8
−12x=24
Step 4: Divide both sides by -12.
−12x
−12
=
24
−12
x=−2

The rectangle has a perimeter P of 58 inches.The length l is one more than 3 times the width w.write and solve a system of linear equations to find the length and width of the rectangle?
Answer:
Length(L)=22 inches
Width(W) = 7 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
GIven:-
Perimeter (p)=58 inches,
Length(L)= one more than 3 times the width(W)
Let, W=x ---------------------------------(equation 1
-----------------------(equation 2)
Here x is unknown and to find the Width(W) we have to find the value of x.
Now,
Perimeter of rectangle(p) = 2 times length(L) + 2 times width(W)
----------------(from equation 1)
----------------(given p=58 inches)
----------------------(equation 3)
Now substituting the value of equation 3 in equation 2.
as, -----------------------(from equation 1)
inches -------------------(equation 3)
Therefore, Length(L) = 22 inches and Width(W) = 7 inches.
