25x^2 = 16
divide each side by 25
x^2 = 16/25
take the square root of each side
sqrt (x^2) = +- sqrt(16/25)
x = +- sqrt(16)/sqrt(25)
x = +- 4/5
x = 4/5, - 4/5
Answer:

Explanation:
1. Use the scale ratio to set a proportion with the unknown lenght.

2. To solve for x, use cross multiplication:

3. Divide both sides by 24inches:

4. Simplify:

1 st hit=12 ft
2nd hit=2*6=12 ft
3rd hit=2*3=6 ft
4th hit=2*1.5=3 ft
total distance=12+12+6+3=33 ft
Answer:
4x+8=-24 and
4x=-32
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3(6x+12)=-24
or,12x+24=-72
or,x=-72-24/12
•°•x=-8
4x+8=-24
or,x=-24-8/4
•°•x=-8
4x=-32
or,x=-32/4
•°•x=-8
