Answer:

<h2>x =  -  \frac{17}{4}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 3(4x - 2) = 5(2x - 8)

Expand the terms in the bracket and simplify

That's

6x + 12x  - 6 = 10x - 40 \\ 18x - 6 = 10x - 40

Using the subtraction property subtract 10x from both sides of the equation

18x - 10x - 6 = 10x - 10x - 40 \\ 8x - 6 =  - 40

<u>Add 6 to both sides of the equation</u>

8x + 6 - 6 =  - 40 + 6 \\ 8x =  - 34

<u>Divide both sides by 8</u>

\frac{8x}{8}  =  -  \frac{34}{8}

<u>Reduce the fraction with 2</u>

We have the final answer as

x =  -  \frac{17}{4}

Hope this helps you

Solar Impulse 2 is covered in 269.5 square meters of solar cells. Each cell is 150 square centimeters. How many solar cells are
Alik [6]
Area covered by the solar cells = 269.5 m^2

Area of one cell = 150 cm^2

Convert the area of one cell to m^2 by using the conversion factor 1m^2 = (100cm)^2 => 1 = 1m^2 / 1000 cm^2

=> 150 cm^2 * [1m^2 / 1000 cm^2] = 0.150 m^2

Now finf the number of times that 0.150 is contained in 269.5 by dividing 269.5 by 0.150

269.5 = 0.150 = 1,796.67

Which means that the number of cells is betwee 1796 and 1797.

amm1812

It is a ratio problem...

2 dogs need 144 feet = 2 : 144

Simplify the ratio = 1 : 72

Multiply both sides by 8 (8 dogs) = 1*8 :144*8

Simplify the ratio = 8 : 1152

8 dogs need 1152 feet of fencing

Hope this helps!
