Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x in 5x - 2 = 3x + 8 start by getting the variables on the same side. To do this, subtract 3x from 5x. (you always do the opposite of the term's operation)

2x - 2 = 8 now add 2 to 8

2x = 10 now divide 2

x = 5

I hope this helped :)

A rectangular piece of land has an area of 3/4 square mile. The land is 21/2 mile. What is its width
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The width of the rectangle is  \frac{1}{14} miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as for rectangle

The area of rectangle = A = \frac{3}{4} mile²

The Length of rectangle = L = \frac{21}{2} mile

Let The width of rectangle = W miles

Now, From area of rectangle

I.e Area of Rectangle = Length × Width

Or , A = \frac{21}{2} mile  × W mile

Or, \frac{3}{4} mile² = \frac{21}{2} mile  × W mile

or, W = \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{21}{2}} mile

or, W = \frac{3\times 2}{4\times 21}

∴  W = \frac{1}{14} miles

Hence The width of the rectangle is  \frac{1}{14} miles  Answer

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

30 basketballs

Step-by-step explanation:

one layer would be 3 x 2 = 6

  • to find how much you would need to cover the bottom of the locker, you would use the numbers 3 and 2, then multiply them and you get 6. You would need 6 basketballs to cover the bottom of the locker. That would be your first layer

5 layers would be 6 x 5 = 30

  • So the bottom would be filled with 6 basketballs. Now since the locker is 5 feet high multiply 6 x 5 and that would get you your total of basketballs
