Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x−8)=x+5x

Distribute

2x - 16 = x+5x

Combine like terms

2x-16 = 6x

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-16 = 6x-2x

-16 = 4x

Divide by 4

-16/4 = 4x/4

-4 =x

$\sf{2(x-8)=x+5x }$

$\sf{2x-16=6x }$

$\sf{2x-6x=16 }$

$\sf{-4x=16 }$

$\sf{ x=\dfrac{16}{-4} }$

$\sf{x=-4 }$

Answer:

x=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute 4 into the parentheses

8x+36=-44+8

add -44+8

and u get 8x+36=-36

subtract the 36 on both sides and leave u with

8x=-72

divide 8 on both sides

Please help me explain as well. AD is 48. I will give brainliest.

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is 48

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that AE is 6 and ED is 8, since it forms a triangle, use the Pythagorean theorem to find AD, which is one side of the rectangle.

The Pythagorean theorem says that a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

a is AE, b is ED, and c is AD, so 6^2 + 8^2 = c^2, 36 + 64 = c^2, 100 = c^2, 10 = c, so AD is 10

The area of the triangle is half of AE times ED, so 1/2(6)(8) = 1/2(48) = 24, the area of the triangle is 24.

Since the area of a triangle is 1/2 of the base times the height, we can figure out the height:

A = 1/2bh, 24 = 1/2(10)h, 24 = 5h, 4.8 = h, so the height of the triangle (and rectangle) is 4.8.

The height of the triangle is also the height of the rectangle:

The area of the rectangle is 4.8*10 = 48

A right rectangular prism has a length of 8 centimeters, a width of 3 centimeters, and a height of 5 centimeters. What is the su

ladessa [460]

Answer: $158cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the following formula to calculate the surface area of the right rectangular prism:

$SA = 2(wl +lh + hw)$

Where "w" is the width, "l" is the length, and "h" is the height.

Knowing that this rigth rectangular prism has a length of 8 centimeters, a width of 3 centimeters and a height of 5 centimeters, you can substitute these values into the formula.

Then, the surface of the right rectangular prism is:

$SA = 2[(3cm*8cm) + (8cm*5cm) + (5cm*3cm)]\\\\SA=158cm^2$
