The answer is:

x=-8

Because:

If you pick a number(-8) to fill in the equation written below

5x+20+5x=5x-20

After applying the -8 to x you get

-40+20-40=-40-20

When you simply the both sides you get

-60=-60

And that’s right -60 is equal to -60!

If I can paint 96 sq ft in 15 minutes how long does it take to paint 1 sq ft

White raven [17]

It takes 0.15625 minutes to paint 1 square feet

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, I can paint 96 sq ft in 15 minutes

To find: Time taken to paint 1 square feet

From given,

96 square feet is painted in 15 minutes

Let "x" be the time taken to paint 1 square feet

Then, we can say,

96 square feet = 15 minutes

1 square feet = x minutes

This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying

$96 \times x = 15 \times 1\\\\x = \frac{15}{96}\\\\x = 0.15625$

Thus it takes 0.15625 minutes to paint 1 square feet

Find the dimensions of a rectangle with perimeter 116 m whose area is as large as possible. (if both values are the same number,

creativ13 [48]

The dimensions would be 29 by 29.

To maximize area and minimize perimeter, we make the dimensions as close to equilateral as possible.

Dividing the perimeter by the number of sides, we have

116/4 = 29

This means that both length and width can be 29.
