Answer: -8.5625

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property.... ex: 8(x+1)= 8x+1 (by multiplying both by 8)

8x+1-31x-124=14-7x

Combine like variables

-23x-123=14-7x

Bring like variables to the same side of the equation by changing the sign(+,-)

-16x=137

Divide -16 by both sides

x=-8.5625

If ac =x+3 and db=3x-19, find ac

AveGali [126]

We need some sort of diagram to see what they are. Is there any way to say that ac = db? Either equal angles or equal lines.
x + 3 = 3x - 19 Add 19
x + 3 + 19 = 3x Subtract x
21 = 2x
x = 21 / 2
x = 10.5

ac = 10.5 + 3
x = 13.5
