3x + 4 = x+ 8 > 3x - x = 2x > 2x + 4 = 8 > 8 - 4 = 4 > 2x / 2 crosses out > 4 / 2 = 2 > x=2
2y + 5 = y + 7 > 2y - y = y > y+ 5 = 7 > 7-5= 2 > y=2
the perimeter of the kite is 4

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 6x = 8
Coefficient of the x term: 6
Divide it in half: 3
Square it: 3²
Add 3² to both sides of the equation to complete the square and keep the equation balanced:
x² + 6x + 3² = 8 + 3²
(x+3)² = 17
Answer:
The rate of discount of a lawnmower is 37,5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Sale price formula is
S = p - rp
where S = sale price,
r = discount percentage rate
p = the original price.
Isolating r
r= (p-S)/p
r= ($168- $105)/$168
r=0.375
r= 37,5%
