The product of a number and -8 gives eight times the sum of that number and 36. Find that number

Answer:

-18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be our number. First we have to write our equation.

The product of a number and -8 is represented as -8x (-8 multiplied by x). Remember that 'product' signifies multiplication.

The result is eight times the sum of x and 36. This is represented as 8(x + 36). We add x and 36 first because 8 has been multiplied by the sum of those two numbers.

So our equation is:

-8x = 8(x + 36)

We can now solve for x. First, expand the bracket.

-8x = 8x + 288

Next, subtract 8x from both sides. This will give us only one term containing x, which will make it easier to solve.

-8x - 8x = 8x + 288 - 8x

-16x = 288

Divide both sides by -16

x = -18

What is the difference between a day and a line segment
zepelin [54]

Hello!

I do believe you meant to say:

"What is the difference between a <em>ray</em> and a line segment?"

The difference between a ray and a line segment is:

A ray has one endpoint and continues in one direction. a ray is infinite

A line segment has two endpoints. a line segment is finite

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!
