So...
-2(16-4x)-8=6(x+2) Multiply
-32+8x-8=6x+12 Add like terms
-40+8x=6x+12 Subtract 6x from both sides
-40+2x=12 Add 40 to both sides
2x=52 Divide 2 from both sides
x=26 Substitute to check
-2(16-4(26))-8=6((26)+2) Add and multiply in parenthesis
-2(-88)-8=6(28) Multiply
176-8=168 Subtract
168=168
So x=26
I hope this helps! Have a great day!
This answer was wrong so ignore this-
Answer:
add all the numbers
which will get you 24
then divide by how many numbers you got which will give you 6
the answer is six

Hope this helps :D
"More than" is codeword for addition. In this case, since this is "x more than 5", <u>our expression is 5 + x, or C.</u>
x=3 and y=−2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve8x+5y=14for x:
8x+5y=14
8x+5y+−5y=14+−5y(Add -5y to both sides)
8x=−5y+14
8x8=−5y+148(Divide both sides by 8)
x=−58y+74
Step: Substitute−58y+74forxin−4x−5y=−2:
−4x−5y=−2
−4(−58y+74)−5y=−2
−52y−7=−2(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−52y−7+7=−2+7(Add 7 to both sides)
−52y=5
−52y−52=5−52(Divide both sides by (-5)/2)
y=−2
Step: Substitute−2foryinx=−58y+74:
x=−58y+74
x=−58(−2)+74
x=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=3 and y=−2
