Solve -8=x+11 divided by -2 please and thank you

1 answer:

4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

-8 = (x + 11)/2
-8 • 2 = x + 11
-16 = x + 11
-16 - 11 = x
-27 = x
Or x = -27

Check:
-8 = (-27 + 11)/2
-8 = -16/2
-8 = -8

Therefore, x = -27

HELP MEEEEE PLEASEEEEEE

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

$x=16\dfrac{28}{37}\\ \\y=5\dfrac{1}{3}\\ \\z=7.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows three paralel lines which divide the large triangle into three similar triangles.

By Thales theorem,

$\dfrac{5}{z}=\dfrac{y}{8}=\dfrac{2}{3}$

Then

$\dfrac{5}{z}=\dfrac{2}{3}\Rightarrow 2z=15,\ z=7.5\\ \\\dfrac{y}{8}=\dfrac{2}{3}\Rightarrow 3y=16,\ y=\dfrac{16}{3}=5\dfrac{1}{3}$

From the similarity of triangles,

$\dfrac{x}{20}=\dfrac{z+8}{z+8+3}\\ \\\dfrac{x}{20}=\dfrac{7.5+8}{7.5+8+3}\\ \\\dfrac{x}{20}=\dfrac{15.5}{18.5}\\ \\x=20\cdot \dfrac{155}{185}=20\cdot \dfrac{31}{37}=\dfrac{620}{37}=16\dfrac{28}{37}$
