Answer:
x = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 8 - 3x = -10
Combine like terms
2x +8 = -10
Subtract 8 from each side
2x+8-8 = -10-8
2x = -18
Divide each side by 2
2x/2 = -18/2
x = -9
Hello!
Since you have a board that is 8 and 1/4 feet long, the easy way to calculate how many 1/2 feet are on 8 feet is two multiply 8 x 2, since there are two halves of a foot, in one foot (because two halves equal one whole). Now this may sound confusing but we can double check.
_________
| | As we can see here, there are two rows, each with 8 halves.
V V So now we multiply 8 x 2 and get 16.
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
^-- Now if you add all of these, it's 8, proving that you can do 8 x 2
Yes, you may be asking, "What about the 1/4?" Don't worry about it! Questions like this try to trick you into making it more complicated, it asks how many halves are in 8 and 1/4, but 1/4 isn't enough to make a half so we leave it alone.
The answer will be D. 7/10 because you have 10 numbers and you want to have a number greater than 3 so it would be 10-3=7 and 7 would go over 10 because there are 7 numbers greater than 3 but less than 10.
Answer:
x=10
A = 84
Step-by-step explanation:
A and B are supplementary angles so they add to 180 degrees
A + B =180
2x+76 + 5x+34 = 180
Combine like terms
7x+ 110 = 180
7x+110-110 = 180-110
7x = 70
Divide by 7
x = 10
Now find A
A = 5x+34
A = 5*10 +34
= 50+34
A = 84
