Answer:

(8 * x) -14 = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

* = multiply sign (i didnt want to put "x" as the multiply sign since "x" is already being used) ( mightve confused you with 2 "x"s in the parenthesis.

x = the number that is missing being multiplied by 8

I put "8" multiplied by "x" in parenthesis since you do parenthesis first in an equation.

If v is one-third of the quantity 3 less than u, how does v change if u is increasing?

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

v increases when u increases

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have that

$v = u - \frac{1}{3} * 3$

$v = u - \frac{3}{3}$

$v = u - 1$

Take u = 1

$v = u - 1$

$v = 1 - 1$

$v = 0$

Take u = 2

$v = u - 1$

$v = 2 - 1$

$v = 1$

Take u = 10

$v = u - 1$

$v = 10 - 1$

$v = 9$

<em>This implies that an increment in u brings an increment in v</em>

Pq=6x+25 and qr=16-3x; find pr

Viktor [21]

$Given:\\\overline{PQ}=6x+25\\\overline{QR}=16-3x\\\\Finding:\overline{PR}$

$If \; Q \; is \; a \; point \; in \; between \; the \; line \; segment \; \overline{PR}, \; \\ then \; the \; distance \; of \; line \; segment \; \overline{PR} \; \\ can \; be \; found \; by \; adding \; line \; segment \; \overline{PQ} \; and \; \overline{QR}.$

$Using \; the \; concept \; \overline{PQ}+\overline{QR}=\overline{PR} \;,\\ we \; need \; to \; set \; up \; an \; equation \; given \; below:$

$\overline{PR} =6x+25 +16-3x\\\\Step \; 1: Grouping \; Like \; Terms\\\overline{PR} =6x-3x+25 +16\\\\Step \; 2: Combining \; Like \; Terms\\\overline{PR} =3x+41$

Conclusion:

$\overline{PR} \; is \; represented \; the \; expression \; 3x +41$
