8(n + 5) = (-56)

First distribute the 8 to both n and 5

8 x 5 = 40
8(n) = 8n

8n + 40 = -56
8n + 40 (-40) = -56 (-40)
8n = -96
8n/8 = -96/8
n = -12

-12 is your answer

Hope this helps

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the Proportional Transversal Theorem, the three parallel lines hat intersects the two transversals, divides the transversal lines proportionally.

Therefore, we would have the following ratio:

28/35 = ?/50

Cross multiply

35*? = 50*28

35*? = 1,400

Divide both sides by 35

? = 1400/35

? = 40

A person needs to fill 18 water jugs with a hose. Filling the first 3 jugs has taken 5 minutes. How long to finish filling the r

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

10.8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We are told that the number of Jugs is 18

Filling the first 3 jugs has taken 5 minutes

let us find the filling rate

Rate= 3/5

Rate= 0.6 Jugs per minute

Hence the rate of filling is 0.6 Jugs per minute

Therefore the time take to fill the remaining 16 jugs is

TIme= Rate*Number of Jugs

TIme= 0.6*18

Time= 10.8 minutes

Work out the value of z, given that x+y=42 and x/13=y/8=z/9.

Andru [333]

Answer:

z = 18

x = 26 and y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$x + y = 42$

$\dfrac{x}{13}=\dfrac{y}{8}=\dfrac{z}{9}$

Rewrite $x + y = 42$ to make $y$ the subject:

$\implies y=42-x$

Substitute this into $\dfrac{x}{13}=\dfrac{y}{8}$ :

$\implies \dfrac{x}{13}=\dfrac{42-x}{8}$

Cross multiply:

$\implies 8x=13(42-x)$

$\implies 8x=546-13x$

$\implies 21x=546$

$\implies x=26$

Substitute found value of x into $x + y = 42$ and solve for y:

$\implies 26 + y = 42$

$\implies y=16$

Substitute found value of y into $\dfrac{y}{8}=\dfrac{z}{9}$ and solve for z:

$\implies \dfrac{16}{8}=\dfrac{z}{9}\\\\\implies 2=\dfrac{z}{9}\\\\\implies 18=z$
