The sum of 5 times a number and -8:
5x - 8 = y
3^5) (x + 2)^(3/2) + 3 = 27
<span>(x + 2)^(3/2) = 24 / 243 </span>
<span>x + 2 = [ 24 / 243 ]^(2/3) </span>
<span>x + 2 = [ 8 / 81 ]^(2/3) </span>
<span>x = [ 4 / 81^(2/3) ] - 2 =-1.786
the answer is x=-1.786</span>
5(n-4)=(4n-12)
First: Distribute 5 into n and -4.
5(n-4)=(5n)+(5*-4)= 5n-20.
Second: Subtract 4n from both sides to eliminate the variable from the right side of the equation.
(5n-20)=(4n-12)
n-20=-12
Next: Add 20 to both sides to eliminate the constant from the left side of the equation.
n-20=-12
n=8
The unknown number is 8.
