Answer:

The number is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets write this as an equation first. We'll substitute the number for the variable <em>x</em>.

80 - 3x = 5x + 8

First, let's add 3x to both sides.

80 - 3x + 3x = 5x + 3x + 8

80 = 8x + 8

Next, let's subtract 8 from both sides.

80 - 8 = 8x + 8 - 8

72 = 8x

Finally, let's divide both sides by 8.

72/8 = 8x/8

9 = x

<em>"x" is 9.</em>

<em>So the secret number is 9.</em>

P.S.

This is my first answer to a Brainly question so please don't complain!

Answer:

x = 14

y = 4

Explanation:

Ok so, just from looking at the two triangles i can tell they're congruent right triangles. I used different colors to show which sides of the triangle correspond and are equal to each other in my attatched photo.

So the side thats equal to x is the same length as the side that's equal to y+10 on the other triangle.

So we can write the equation x = y + 10.

Using this same method, the side that's equal to x + 2 is the same length as the side that's equal to 4y on the other triangle.

So, we can write the equation 4y = x + 2.

Now we have the equations \left \{ {{x=y+10} \atop {4y=x+2}} \right. you could rewrite to be in slope- intercept form so they're easier to graph. But a graphing calculator online would plot it just fine.

If you graph these two equations they'll intersect at the solution ( 14, 4 ). I'll include the graph in my images as well.

To check your answer, you can plug in x and y and see if the triangle sides end up being the same length. I did and it was correct.

60 EXTRA POINTS!!!! I need help with writing an inequality for a graph. It is below. :)
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:   y ≥ - x + 6  and   y ≥ x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Look of a pairs of points for each graph

Line 1                                                  Line 2

A(0, 6)     B (5, 1)                                 C (7,3)               D(5, 1)

m =  (1- 6) / (5- 0)                               m = (1 - 3) / (5 - 7)  

m = -5/5 = -1                                      m = -2 / -2 = 1

Find  the line equation for each slope   (y - y1) = m (x - x1)

(y - 1) = -1 (x - 5)                                 (y - 1) = 1 (x - 5)

y - 1 = -x + 5                                       y -1 = x - 5

y = -x + 5 + 1                                       y = x - 5 + 1

y = -x + 6                                           y = x - 4

Inequality

y ≥ - x + 6                                          y ≥ x - 4

Multiplication can be represented as repeated addition. Repeated multiplication leads to exponents. Use what you know about mult
Alex

Answer:

-27

Step-by-step explanation:

-3^3  (the number after ^ is the exponent)

-3 x -3 x -3

-3 x -3 = 9 (multiplying two negatives results in a positive)

9 x -3 = -27
