Answer:
x=4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
5/15=x/ x+8
Step 1: Cross-multiply.
5/15=x/ x+8
5*(x+8)=x*(15)
5x+40=15x
Step 2: Subtract 15x from both sides.
5x+40−15x=15x−15x
−10x+40=0
Step 3: Subtract 40 from both sides.
−10x+40−40=0−40
−10x=−40
Step 4: Divide both sides by -10.
−10x−10=−40−10
Then your answer will be x=4.
Answer:
C. c = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
you must get c by itself. you have to divide both sides by 10. this gets rid of the 10c and keeps both sides equal
-40/10 = c
c = -4
Answer:
5g-14
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter=12+g-26+4g=5g-14
The answer would be 11 gallons.
The tub starts with 32 gallons. Every minute it loses 3 gallons.
So after 1 minute it has lost 3 gallons. For example:
32-3= 29 Meaning that after 1 minute the tub has 29 gallons left.
Now you have to remember that the tub is draining for 7 minutes. So it is losing 3 gallons 7 times, because it loses 3 gallons each minute and there are 7 minutes.
We can use multiplication to find how many gallons the tub loses after 7 minutes. This sign “X” basically means “groups of”. We have 7 groups of 3, or
7 X 3
This is the same as saying we have 3, 7 times. Written like this:
3+3 +3 +3 +3 +3 +3 = 21
So after 7 minutes the tub has lost 21 gallons.
Now we take the original number of gallons and take away what was lost:
32-21=11
So there are 11 gallons left after 7 minutes.
Please let me know if you need any further explanation. Hope this helped.
4a-8=28
add 8 to both sides to start to isolate the variable (a)
-8+8 cancels each other out
28+8=36
4a=36
to completely isolate the variable divide both sides by 4
4a÷4=a
36÷4=9
a=9
