7-x/3=-1-x/8 I'm in 8th grade and I can't figure this out​

Answer: x = 38.4

Step-by-step explanation:

7-x/3 = -1-x/8

1. Add 1 to both sides

8-x/3 = -x/8

2. Add x/3 to both sides

8 = x/3 - x/8

3. Multiply x/3 by 8/8 and x/8 by 3/3 to get the same number under the quotient

8 = 8x/24 - 3x/24

4. calculate the difference between 8x/24 - 3x/24

8 = 5x/24

5. Multiply both sides by 24/5, and there is the answer

38.4 = x

In the system of equations below, which variable would it be easiest to solve for? x + 4 y = 14. 3 x + 2 y = 12 The easiest to s
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

<h2>The easiest to solve for is x in the first equation</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation, x + 4 y = 14. and 3 x + 2 y = 12, to solve for x, we can use the elimination method of solving simultaneous equation. We need to get y first.

x + 4 y = 14............ 1 * 3

3 x + 2 y = 12 ............ 2  * 1

Lets eliminate x first. Multiply equation 1 by 3 and subtract from equation 2.

3x + 12 y = 42.

3 x + 2 y = 12

Taking the diffrence;

12-2y =42 - 12

10y = 30

y = 3

From equation 1, x = 14-4y

x = 14-4(3)

x = 14-12

x = 2

It can be seen that the easiest way to get the value of x is by using the first equation and we are able to do the substitute easily <u>because the variable x has no coefficient in equation 1 compare to equation 2 </u>as such it will be easier to make the substitute for x in the first equation.

Rainbow [258]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. She has a total of 50 DVDs of 90 minutes each one of them. The cost of each DVD was 11€.

2. Therefore, to calculate the total cost of the collection, you must multiply the cost of each DVD by the total number of them:

total=(11)(50)=550€

3. To calculate the total minutes of the collection, you must multiply 90 minutes by the total number of DVDs:

(90min)(50)=4500min

Therefore, the answer is: 550€ and 4500 minutes.
