5x − 8( 1 + 7x ) = −8

6 0

Answer:

x = 0

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

5x - 8(1 + 7x) = -8

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute -8:                              5x - 8 - 56x = -8
  2. Combine like terms:                  -51x - 8 = -8
  3. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                            -51x = 0
  4. Isolate <em>x</em>:                                     x = 0

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it is a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    5(0) - 8(1 + 7(0)) = -8
  2. Multiply:                               0 - 8(1 + 0) = -8
  3. Add:                                      -8(1) = -8
  4. Multiply:                                -8 = -8

Here we see that -8 does indeed equal -8.

∴ x = 0 is a solution of the equation.

Determine both the x and y intercepts. Please help! Will mark brainliest!
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

y-intercept: (0, 2.5)

x-intercept: (1.67, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Right now, you have 3x + 2y = 5. You want to change it into slope-intercept form to make the problem easier to solve.

2y = -3x + 5

y = -3/2x + 5/2

From here, you can see that the y-intercept is (0, 5/2). You can also say that the y-intercept is (0, 2.5).

To get the x-intercept, substitute 0 for y.

0 = -3/2x + 5/2

3/2x = 5/2

3x = 5

x = 5/3

So, the x-intercept is (5/3, 0). You can also say that the x-intercept is (1.67, 0).

Hope this helps!

A government health official is interested in whether there has been a statistically significant decrease in teen smoking rates.
Nostrana [21]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

The p-value is greater than the significance level (0.09 > 0.05), so we "fail to reject" H0.

The p-value and significance level are provided from the questions .

General rule of P value :  When a P value is less than or equal to the significance level, you reject the null hypothesis.
