You could answer this question easily by applying synthetic division:
_______________
-5 / 4 14 -9
-20 30
---------------------------
4 -6 21
.38 is greater because 3/10 is .30 and .38 is greater
Answer:
Neither of them are right
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's actually solve this equation:
8 ( x - 5 ) = 8x + 40
Distribute on the left:
8 ( x - 5 )
( 8 x X ) + ( 8 x ( -5 ) )
8x - 40
8x - 40 = 8x + 40
Add 40 to each side:
8x = 8x + 80
Subtract 8x from both sides:
0 = 80
0 ≠ 80
There are no solutions to the equation
