Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8x - 3 = 5(2x + 1) ← distribute

8x - 3 = 10x + 5 ( subtract 10x from both sides )

- 2x - 3 = 5 ( add 3 to both sides )

- 2x = 8 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

8x - 10x = 3 + 5

Jen has 2 meters of taffy. She wants to give each of her three best friends in equal amount of taffy how many centimeters of taf
Oksanka [162]
Here is the solution of the given problem above.
Given: 2 meters = The length of the taffy that Jen has
           1/3 of two meters = measurements of each of her three best friends
           ? = 1/3 of two meters
           ? = 1/3 of two meters converted to centimeters
First, we need to get how long 1/3 of 2 meters is. So 2 multiplied by 1/3 is 0.67 meters. So each of her friends gets 0.67 meters. And 0.67 meters in centimeters is 67 meters. 1 meter = 100 centimeters. 
In fraction, each friend will get 67/200 centimeters.
