3(x-7)+8=-20

Multiply the bracket by 3

(3)(x)(3(-7)+8= -20

3x-21+8= -20

3x-13= -20

Move -13 to the other side. Sign changes from -13 to +13.

3x-13+13= -20+13

3x= -7

Divide by 3

3x/3= -7/3

x= -7/3 or in mixed number : -2 1/3

Answer : x= -7/3 or in mixed number : -2 1/3

The volume of a box (v) varies directly with its length (l) if one of the boxes has a volume of 325 cubic inches and a length of
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality for the group of boxes is: 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion means that change in one quantity causes change in other quantity. Direct variation means that increase in one quantity causes increase in the other quantity.

Let l be the length and v be the volume

Then according to given statement

V∝l

Removing the proportionality symbol introduces a constant in the equation

V = kl

Putting V = 325 and l = 13

325 =k(13)\\k = \frac{325}{13}\\k = 25

Hence,

The constant of proportionality for the group of boxes is: 25
