The answer is r=-3. You use the distributive property which is basically multiplying -8 with all the numbers inside the parenthesis. So -8 x r and -8 x -2. This results to -8r+16=40 (Two negative numbers multiplied together will form a positive number). We use inverse operations to subtract 16 from both sides. 16-16 is 0 and 40-16 is 24. So we are left with -8r=24. We want to be left with only r, so we once again use inverse operations to divide -8 from both sides. -8/-8 is 1, and 24/-8 is -3. So we end up with r=-3.

Answer:
OD.0
Step-by-step explanation:
because 2(X+4)-1 = 2x+7
or, 2x+8-1 = 2x+7
or, 2x+7= 2x+7
and it cancels out eachother so it will be 0
Answer:
4.75 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Before the termites: 5 pounds
After the termites: 1/4 of a pound
Amount that the termites took: x
5 - x = 1/4
Add x to both sides of the equation
5 = 1/4 + x
Subtract 1/4 from both sides of the equation
4 3/4 = x
4 3/4 = 4.75
The termites took 4.75 pounds from the log

Answer:The base of the ladder from the tree is 28ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Using pythagorean theorem
Let 100ft= hypothesis is the right angle triangle
Let 96ft be the height of the ladder
Let x be the base of the right angle triangle between the base of the ladder and the tree
h^2=a^2+b^2
100^2=96^2 +b^2
10,000=9216 +b^2
b^2=10,000-9216
b=sqrt(784)
b=28ft
