2x + 8y = 5

2/ 24x - 4y = -15

2x + 8y = 5

48x - 8x = -30

--------------------------

50x = -25

x = -1/2

2 * -1/2 + 8y = 5

-1 + 8y = 5

8y = 6

y = 6/8

y = 3/4

x = -1/2 y = 3/4

5/6(2x+12)-8=4-(x+1)

alekssr [168]

For this case we have the following equation:

$\frac {5} {6} (2x + 12) -8 = 4- (x + 1)$

We apply distributive property on the left side of the equation:

$\frac {5 * 2} {6} x + \frac {5 * 12} {6} -8 = 4- (x + 1)\\\frac {10} {6} x + \frac {60} {6} -8 = 4- (x + 1)$

We simplify the left side of the equation:

$\frac {5} {3} x + 10-8 = 4- (x + 1)$

Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.

$\frac {5} {3} x + 2 = 4- (x + 1)$

On the right side we must take into account that:

$- * + = -$

So:

$\frac {5} {3} x + 2 = 4-x-1\\\frac {5} {3} x + 2 = 3-x$

We add x to both sides of the equation:

$\frac {5} {3} x + x + 2 = 3\\\frac {5 * 1 + 3 * 1} {3} x + 2 = 3\\\frac {5 + 3} {3} x + 2 = 3\\\frac {8} {3} x + 2 = 3$

We subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:

$\frac {8} {3} x = 3-2\\\frac {8} {3} x = 1$

We multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation:

$8x = 3$

We divide by 8 on both sides of the equation:

$x = \frac {3} {8}$

Thus, the solution of the equation is:

$x = \frac {3} {8}$

Answer:

$x = \frac {3} {8}$

Find the sum of the first 30 multiples of 8.

Anna11 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of the arithmetic sequence

a1 = 8

a2 = a1 + 8 = 8+8 = 16

...

an = 8×n

the sum of the first n elements of such a series is

n/2 × (2×a1 + (n - 1)×d]

with d being the difference between 2 consecutive elements (= the added constant).

so,

s30 = 30/2 × (2×8 + 29×8) = 15×(31×8) = 3720
