Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 4 to both sides of the equation

3x=8+4

add 8 and 4

3x=12

Divide each term in 3 x = 12 by 3.

3x/3 = 12/3

Cancel the common factor.

3x/3 = 12/3

Divide x by 1.

x = 12/3

Divide 12 by 3.

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4 - x = 8

Combine like terms

2x + 4 = 8

-4 from both sides

2x = 4

Divide by 2

x = 2

Two solutions of the equation Ax+By = 1 are (2, -1) and (-3,-2). Find A and B.

kati45 [8]

Answer:

Substitute in the values of both given coordinates & form 2 equations:

$\left \{ {{A(2)+B(-1)=1} \atop {A(-3)+B(-2)=1}} \right. \\\\=\left \{ {{2A-B=1} \atop {-3A-2B=1}} \right.$

Find the value of B from the equation 2A - B = 1:

$2A-B=1\\-B=1-2A\\B=2A-1$

Substitute in the B-value to the other equation:

$-3A-2B=1\\-3A-2(2A-1)=1\\-3A-4A+2=1\\-7A=1-2\\-7A=-1\\A=\frac{-1}{-7} =\frac{1}{7}$

Find the B-value using the equation from before:

$B=2A-1=2(\frac{1}{7})-1=\frac{2}{7} -\frac{7}{7} =-\frac{5}{7}$

Therefore the equation Ax + By = 1 would equal:

$\frac{1}{7} x-\frac{5}{7} y=1$

Find the length of the indicated side of the similar figure.

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

in similar figures the side lengths must be proportional:

4/8 = x/10 cross multiply fractions

40 = 8x divide both sides by 8

5 = x
