Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(3 x)/8 + 6 (x + 3) = 6 x - 5 (x/4 - 1)

Hint: | Put the fractions in x/4 - 1 over a common denominator.

Put each term in x/4 - 1 over the common denominator 4: x/4 - 1 = x/4 - 4/4:

(3 x)/8 + 6 (x + 3) = 6 x - 5 x/4 - 4/4

Hint: | Combine x/4 - 4/4 into a single fraction.

x/4 - 4/4 = (x - 4)/4:

(3 x)/8 + 6 (x + 3) = 6 x - 5(x - 4)/4

Hint: | Put the fractions in (3 x)/8 + 6 (x + 3) over a common denominator.

Put each term in (3 x)/8 + 6 (x + 3) over the common denominator 8: (3 x)/8 + 6 (x + 3) = (3 x)/8 + (48 (x + 3))/8:

(3 x)/8 + (48 (x + 3))/8 = 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4

Hint: | Combine (3 x)/8 + (48 (x + 3))/8 into a single fraction.

(3 x)/8 + (48 (x + 3))/8 = (3 x + 48 (x + 3))/8:

(3 x + 48 (x + 3))/8 = 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4

Hint: | Distribute 48 over x + 3.

48 (x + 3) = 48 x + 144:

(48 x + 144 + 3 x)/8 = 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4

Hint: | Group like terms in 48 x + 3 x + 144.

Grouping like terms, 48 x + 3 x + 144 = (3 x + 48 x) + 144:

((3 x + 48 x) + 144)/8 = 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4

Hint: | Add like terms in 3 x + 48 x.

3 x + 48 x = 51 x:

(51 x + 144)/8 = 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4

Hint: | Put the fractions in 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4 over a common denominator.

Put each term in 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4 over the common denominator 4: 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4 = (24 x)/4 - (5 (x - 4))/4:

(51 x + 144)/8 = (24 x)/4 - (5 (x - 4))/4

Hint: | Combine (24 x)/4 - (5 (x - 4))/4 into a single fraction.

(24 x)/4 - (5 (x - 4))/4 = (24 x - 5 (x - 4))/4:

(51 x + 144)/8 = (24 x - 5 (x - 4))/4

Hint: | Distribute -5 over x - 4.

-5 (x - 4) = 20 - 5 x:

(51 x + 144)/8 = (24 x + 20 - 5 x)/4

Hint: | Combine like terms in 24 x - 5 x + 20.

24 x - 5 x = 19 x:

(51 x + 144)/8 = (19 x + 20)/4

Hint: | Make (51 x + 144)/8 = (19 x + 20)/4 simpler by multiplying both sides by a constant.

Multiply both sides by 8:

(8 (51 x + 144))/8 = (8 (19 x + 20))/4

Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (8 (51 x + 144))/8.

(8 (51 x + 144))/8 = 8/8×(51 x + 144) = 51 x + 144:

51 x + 144 = (8 (19 x + 20))/4

Hint: | In (8 (19 x + 20))/4, divide 8 in the numerator by 4 in the denominator.

8/4 = (4×2)/4 = 2:

51 x + 144 = 2 (19 x + 20)

Hint: | Write the linear polynomial on the left hand side in standard form.

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

51 x + 144 = 38 x + 40

Hint: | Move terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 38 x from both sides:

(51 x - 38 x) + 144 = (38 x - 38 x) + 40

Hint: | Combine like terms in 51 x - 38 x.

51 x - 38 x = 13 x:

13 x + 144 = (38 x - 38 x) + 40

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

38 x - 38 x = 0:

13 x + 144 = 40

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 144 from both sides:

13 x + (144 - 144) = 40 - 144

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

144 - 144 = 0:

13 x = 40 - 144

Hint: | Evaluate 40 - 144.

40 - 144 = -104:

13 x = -104

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 13 x = -104 by 13:

(13 x)/13 = (-104)/13

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

13/13 = 1:

x = (-104)/13

Hint: | Reduce (-104)/13 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -104 and 13.

The gcd of -104 and 13 is 13, so (-104)/13 = (13 (-8))/(13×1) = 13/13×-8 = -8:

Answer: x = -8

\bf \textit{difference and sum of cubes} \\\\ a^3+b^3 = (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2) ~\hfill a^3-b^3 = (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \boxed{a^6+b^6}\implies a^{2\cdot 3}+b^{2\cdot 3}\implies (a^2)^3+(b^2)^3 \\[2em] [a^2+b^2] [(a^2)^2-a^2b^2+(b^2)^2]\implies \boxed{(a^2+b^2)(a^4-a^2b^2+b^4)}

about the second one... well, is a "fait accompli" that using the pythagorean theorem, if x = 8 and y = 5, the hypotenuse must be √(8² + 5²) = √(89), which is neither of those choices.

5, 8, 13 are no dice, namely 5² + 8² ≠ 13

25, 64, 17 is are no dice too, because 25² + 17² ≠ 64²

however, 5,12 and 13 are indeed a pythagorean triple

also is 39, 80, 89.

when looking for a pythagorean triple, recall that c² = a² + b².

so the longest leg is the sum of the square of the small ones.

so what you'd do is, check the small legs, square them, add them up, if they're indeed a pythagorean triple, they "must" add up to the longest leg.

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

12 hours    x hours

----------   = ------------

93 dollars    62 dollars

Using cross products

12 * 62 = 93x

Divide each side by 93

12*62/93 = 93x/93
