8 (x - 3) + 8 = 5x - 22

First, expand. / Your problem should look like: 8x - 24 + 8 = 5x - 22
Second, simplify 8x - 24 + 8 to 8x - 16. / Your problem should look like: 8x - 16 = 5x - 22
Third, subtract 5x from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 8x - 16 - 5x = -22
Fourth, simplify 8x - 16 - 5x to 3x - 16. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 16 = -22
Fifth, add 16 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x = -22 + 16
Sixth, simplify -22 + 16 to -6. / Your problem should look like: 3x = -6
Seventh, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: x = - \frac{6}{3}
Eighth, simplify \frac{6}{3} to 2. / Your problem should look like: x = -2

Answer: x = -2

quester [9]
The solution for the problem is as follows:

((12x + 15y)/228) = 13 
x + y =228 

x = kentucky bluegrass 
<span>y = chewings fescue 
</span>
By systems of linear equations, the answers would be:

x = 152
y = 76

Therefore, there should be 152 pounds of Kentucky bluegrass to be used and 76 pounds of chewings fescue.

1. What is the perimeter of the figure below. Simplify.<br> 4x^3-5x 2x^3+6x 6x^3+x
____ [38]

Answer:

12x^3+2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a polygon is equal to the sum of its sides.

The sides in the triangle shown have lengths 2x^3+6x, 4x^3-5x, and 6x^3+x in no specific order.

Since its perimeter is given by the sum of its sides, the perimeter is equal to:

2x^3+6x+4x^3-5x+6x^3+x

Combine like terms:

\boxed{12x^3+2x}

How many meters tall is the statue of liberty if it is thirty times the height of a 154 centimeter person?
Reptile [31]
The question states that the Statue of Liberty is 30 times the height of a 154 centimeter person and asks how many meters tall the <span>the Statue of Liberty is.
This is basically asking us to find 30 times 154 centimeters and convert it to meters.

30 • 154 = 4620
This tells us that the </span>Statue of Liberty is 4,620 centimeters (cm) tall.

Now we must convert 4,620 cm to meters (m).
There are 100 cm in 1 m.
This means 100 cm = 1 m.
That means that meters are 100 times larger than centimeters.
With this in mind, we can divide the number of cm by 100 to convert it to m.

4,620 ÷ 100 = 46.2
That means that 4,620 cm is equal to 46.2 m.

The final answer:
If the Statue of Liberty is 30 times taller than 154 centimeters, then the Statue of Liberty is 46.2 meters tall.
So the answer is 46.2 meters.

Hope this helps!
