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>

Subtract 8 on both sides: -2x = 10
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

What equation can I use to find the side of a cube whose area is 729?

Tom [10]

#1 There is no area of a cube. There is only a volume.
#2 The formula is $V = s^{3}$ where s is the side.

Substitute 729 in V since that is the volume.
$729 = s^{3}$

Take the cube root and you will get 9.

So the formula is $V = s^{3}$ and the side is 9.

A number is multiplied by 16, and that product is added to 8. The sum is equal to the product of 4 and 10. Find the number.

Ymorist [56]

Your sum is 4 times 10, or 40. We want to end up with 40. Subtract 8 because you added 8 before to work backwards. You get 32. Divide by 16 because the opposite of multiplication is division. You would get 2.
