Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4x +2= -5/8x - 5
Add 5/8x to each side
1/4x +5/8x +2= -5/8x+5/8x - 5
1/4x+5/8x +2= - 5
Subtract 2 from each side
1/4x+5/8x +2-2= - 5-2
1/4x+5/8x = - 7
Get a common denominator
1/4 *2/2 x + 5/8x = -7
2/8x + 5/8x = -7
7/8x = -7
Multiply each side by 8/7
8/7x * 7/8x = -7 *8/7
x = -8
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Increase is difference between ending and begining value so 23-(-8) =23+8.
In this case its absolute value because it has to be positive
Answer:

Let area of triangle AEC = x
Area of triangle BAC = 1/2 * 15 * 12 = 90
Area of triangle DCA = 1/2 * 15 * 6 = 45
90 = p + x and
45 = q + x Subtracting the 2 equations:-
90 - 45 = p - q
Answer p - q = 45
