Answer: x=4

given equation: 8 - 2x= 5(x-4)

STEP 1: distribute the 5 with ONLY the parenthesis which is (x-4)

so it will be 5x-20 (-20 because 5 x -4= -20)

Now the equation is 8 - 2x= 5x - 20

STEP 2: ADD 20 on both SIDES

8+20= 28

New equation: 28 - 2x= 5x

STEP 3: ADD 2x on both sides 2x+5x= 7x

STEP 4: Now divide 28 by 7

28/7= 4

Therefor x= 4

Answer:

C. I,II,III

Step-by-step explanation:

Pleaseeee help on question 3 and 5 pleaseeeee wuick thank youuuuuuuuu
elena55 [62]

Answer:

3a, 13cm 5, 1:200

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question 3 you just have to divide all of those numbers with that 5000, maybe also make them cm so it makes more sense. So 650m = 65000cm:5000= 13cm

then for the question 5, make the km to cm, so 4.2km would be 420000cm. Then you have to divide that 420000cm with the 21 cm, so 420000:21= 200. Then the scale should be 1:200

I had difficulties with these as well. If you need extra help with the task 3 please pm me :)
