-5x-16=8
-5x=24



above is how to correctly solve the equation
The error is in step 3.
Step 3 as written: 
This is incorrect because you are removing the 5 from the -5x so it wouldn't be in the numerator.
Hope this helps
Hi there!
To factor this expression, you must first find the greatest common factor of each term, 16x and 40y.
To do this, first list the factors of each coefficient since they do not share any variables:
16:1,2,4,8,16
40:1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Notice that among the factors of each term, 8 is the greatest common factor.
Finally, factor 8 from the expression to get 8(2x+5y) as your final answer.
Hope this helps, and have a nice day!
Couch: 2x
love seat: 2x+400
chair: x
total amount: $1565
2x+2x+400+x=1565
5x+400=1565
5x=1165
x= 233
The cost of the chair is $233. The cost of the couch is $466. The cost of the love seat is $866.
Hope this helps!
The quadratic equation which matches given solution is x² + 3x + 3 = 0. Then the correct option is C.
<h3>What is a quadratic equation?</h3>
It is a polynomial that is equal to zero. Polynomial of variable power 2, 1, and 0 terms are there. Any equation having one term in which the power of the variable is a maximum of 2 then it is called a quadratic equation.
We know that the formula

The solutions are given below.

Then
1) 2x² + 6x + 9 = 0, the zeroes of the equation will be

2) x² + 3x + 12 = 0, the zeroes of the equation will be

3) x² + 3x + 3 = 0, the zeroes of the equation will be

4) 2x² + 6x + 3 = 0, the zeroes of the equation will be
