5x − 8( 1 + 7x ) = −8

Mathematics
1 answer:
xxTIMURxx [149]2 years ago
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.

Ruby ate 1/5 of a pie . If there was 10 slices of pie , how many did she eat . <br> SHOW YOUR WORK
Ksju [112]

Ruby eats two slices of pie

Fraction generally represents a part of the whole. The number present in the upper side is called as numerator and the number present below is called as denominator. Fraction can also be represented as a decimal or percentage when required.

Fraction of pie Ruby ate = 1/5

Number of slices present in the pie = 10

numerical value of a fraction = fraction x total number

So, total number of slices of pie that Ruby ate = 10 x 1/5 = 2

Therefore, Ruby eats two slices of pie.

Ruby ate 1/5 of a pie and if there was 10 slices of pie, it implies Ruby eats two slices of pie.

Answer:

∠TRS = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠UTS is an exterior angle of the triangle

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles, that is

∠UTS = ∠TRS + ∠RST

9x - 15 = 3x + 16 + x + 9

9x - 15 = 4x + 25 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

5x - 15 = 25 ( add 15 to both sides )

5x = 40 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 8

∠TRS = 3x + 16 = (3 × 8) + 16 = 24 + 16 = 40°

Solve the following system of equations. 2x + y = 3 x = 2y - 1 Make sure there are NO SPACES in your answer. Include a comma in
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:  x=1;y=1 or (1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can apply the Method of substitution.

Knowing that  x = 2y - 1 (second equation), you can substitute it into the first equation and solve for the variable y:

2x+y=3\\2(2y - 1)+y=3\\4y-2+y=3\\5y=3+2\\5y=5\\y=1

Now you need to substitute y=1 into the second equation x = 2y - 1 to calculate the value of the variable x. Then:

x = 2(1) - 1\\x=2-1\\x=1

Then, the solution is:

x=1;y=1 or (1,1)
