Answer:
could you add a pi
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's break it up into 2 figures, the rectangle on the right with dimensions 3 x 10, and the rectangle on the left with dimensions 8 x 6.
A = 3 x 10
A = 8 x 6
A = 30
A = 48
The sum of these two, 78, will represent the area of the total figure.
Multiply 5 and 9 which is 45.
To solve this problem, we first have to combine the two fractions on the left side of the equation. To do this, we must make a common denominator of 8. Because 8/8 is equal to 1, we can substitute this value into the equation:
3x/8 - 8/8 = 5/8
Next, we can subtract the fractions on the left side of the equation to simplify. Remember that if fractions have the same denominator, we simply subtract their numerators and keep the difference over the common denominator.
3x - 8/8 = 5/8
Since both sides of the equation have a denominator of 8, we can cancel out this denominator on both sides by multiplying both sides by 8. This gives us:
3x - 8 = 5
Next, we should add 8 to both sides of the equation so that we can get all of the constants to the right side of the equation.
3x = 13
Finally, we should divide both sides by 3 to get the variable alone on the left side of the equation.
x = 13/3
Therefore, your answer is x = 13/3.
Hope this helps!
