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

Lloyd is arranging his science project, math project, and art project on his desk. The tree diagram below shows the sample space
Margarita [4]

The tree diagram is constructed and attached below in the image.

First we have to make a choice out of 3 subjects, so the probability of choosing art as the first subject is 1/3.

Once we have chosen art as the first subject, we have two choices. So the probability of choosing each option now is 1/2. Thus, the probability of choosing math, science is 1/2.

The probability of choosing the projects in order of art, math, science = 1/3 x 1/2 = 1/6

Therefore, the probability that the projects are in order of art, math, science is 1/6 (one over 6). So first option gives the correct answer.

Tim and Cynthia leave Cynthia's house at the same time. Tim drives north and Cynthia drives west. Tim's average speed is 10 mph
RSB [31]

Answer:

  54.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the drivers leave at the same time and travel in directions 90° from each other, their separation speed can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Let c represent Cynthia's average speed. Then (c-10) will represent Tim's average speed. Their combined separation speed is 70 miles per hour, so we can write ...

  70² = c² +(c -10)²

  4900 = 2c² -20c +100 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  c² -10c -2400 = 0 . . . . . . . . divide by 2; put in standard form

  (c -5)² -2425 = 0 . . . . . . . . . rearrange to vertex form

  c = 5 ±5√97 . . . . . . . . . . . . solve for c, simplify radical

  c ≈ 54.244 ≈ 54.2 . . . . . . . use the positive solution

Cynthia's average speed was 54.2 miles per hour.
