Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 8 = 18

Subtract 8 from each side

-2x + 8-8 = 18-8

-2x = 10

Divide each side by -2

-2x/-2 = 10/-2

x = -5

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-2x + 8 = 18

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Subtract 8 on both sides: -2x = 10
  2. Divide both sides by -2: x = -5

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

-2(-5) + 8 = 18

10 + 8 = 18

18 = 18

A) if x=4 evaluate the perimeter of the blanket. Don’t forget to include the measurement in your final answer.
Tanzania [10]
Formula for perimeter of a rectangle:  P = 2W + 2L

Here, P = 2(x-3 ) cm + 2(3x+7) cm = 2x - 6 + 6x + 14   (cm)

Combine like terms:  8x + 8   cm (simplest form)  This is the perimeter.

Now let x = 4:  P(x=4) = 8(4) + 8   cm   = 40 cm
