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

Given: 8x-61=17, prove: 39/4
Degger [83]

Answer:

The solution is x = \frac{39}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation:

8x - 61 = 17

We want to find the solution, that is, the value of x. So

8x - 61 = 17

8x = 78

x = \frac{78}{8}

Simplifying by 2

x = \frac{39}{4}

The solution is x = \frac{39}{4}

Is 12.89 irrational
STatiana [176]

No.  It's the ratio of  1,289  to  100 .

Also, it can be written as a fraction with whole numbers
on top and bottom, like this:    1289 / 100 .

Also, it can be written down on paper completely, using
digits and a decimal point or fraction bar.  (You did that.)

Any one of these three facts makes it a rational number.
