Answer:
-18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be our number. First we have to write our equation.
The product of a number and -8 is represented as -8x (-8 multiplied by x). Remember that 'product' signifies multiplication.
The result is eight times the sum of x and 36. This is represented as 8(x + 36). We add x and 36 first because 8 has been multiplied by the sum of those two numbers.
So our equation is:
-8x = 8(x + 36)
We can now solve for x. First, expand the bracket.
-8x = 8x + 288
Next, subtract 8x from both sides. This will give us only one term containing x, which will make it easier to solve.
-8x - 8x = 8x + 288 - 8x
-16x = 288
Divide both sides by -16
x = -18
Answer:
Step 1. Should be 3(x +2x) -2(x +1) +5 . . .
or . . . 3x(1 +2) -2(x +1) +5 . . .
or . . . 9x -2(x+1) +5
Step-by-step explanation:
Lisa apparently failed to realize that both terms inside the first set of parentheses have 3x as a factor. They are like terms, so could be combined directly. If Lisa really wants to factor out 3 or 3x, she could do so and then combine the remaining factors at another step.
The sum of the angles equals 540
There are 3 angles that measure (x - 30) and 2 angles that measure (x)
3(x - 30) + 2(x) = 540
3x - 90 + 2x = 540
5x - 90 = 540
5x = 630
x = 126
x - 30 = 126 - 30 = 96
Answer: x = 126, x-30 = 96
3-2y-8x is it's most simplified form I think.
