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

How to solve this Pythagorean Theorem.
miskamm [114]
Oh, this is really easy!
Okay so the formula for the pythagorean theorem is a²+b²=c<span>²
So it doesnt really matter whats a or b
So take 21</span>²+15²=c<span>²
That ends up being 441+225=c</span><span>²
so next take 441+225 and that equals 666 then you have to find the square root so the square root of 666 is 25.81

S the answer is 25.81 </span>
