Answer: 5, 8
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The difference between 3 times a number and -8 is BETWEEN 23 and 32
Note: "difference" means subtraction --> 3x - (-8) --> 3x + 8
23 < 3x + 8 < 32
15 < 3x < 24 <em> subtracted 8 from all 3 sides</em>
--> 5 < x < 8 <em>divided 3 from all 3 sides</em>
To answer this problem, one way is to use the calculator and add directly the two numbers and get the average between the two. The answer is 25/77. We can also get this number by getting the LCM of the denominators which is 77. 2/7 is equal to 22/77 while 4/11 is equal to 28/77. 0.5*(22 +28) is equal to 25. Hence the answer is 25/77.
<em>x = - 2.5</em>
- <em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>
<em>Hi there !</em>
<em>4 - (2x + 4) = 5</em>
<em>4 - 2x - 4 = 5</em>
<em>- 2x = 5</em>
<em>2x = - 5</em>
<em>x = - 5 : 2</em>
<em>x = - 2.5</em>
<em>Good luck !</em>
I like the substitution method. Which is when you make one equation equal only x or y and plug it into the other equation)
There is also the graphing method. If you graphed it, it might not be quite as accurate (at least on hand, on computer you would be pretty exact)
Then there is the elimination method. You multiply one of the equations by a coefficient so that you can eliminate x or y from the equation.
Exterior angles for n sides = 360/n = 17.14, n = 360/17.14 = <span>21 sides</span>
