1. Answer x=-5 You would subtract 25 from each side of the equal sign, taking 25 away from 40 and 25 away from 25, isolating the x. So you would then have -3x=15. You would then divide each side by -3, and getting x=-5
280 meters wide. Step 1: Convert kilometers to meters. 1.48=1480 Step 2: Multiply the side length that you have by 2. 2x460=920 Step 3: Subtract 920 from 1480. 1480-920=560. Step 4: Divide 560 by 2. 560/2=280 There is your answer!
