How do i solve 3x-8x=-40

Mathematics

Romashka [77]3 years ago

Ok so to solve for x you need to isolate the variable. Usually, when solving an equation the first step would be to get all of the variables of x on the same side but this equation is already set up that way. Since 3x and 8x are both of the variable x you can simply subtract them and you would be left with:

-5x=-40

Now what you want to do is completely isolate x to get it by itself in which you would divide both sides by -5. Remember *When solving an equation you must do the same math to both sides.

-5x/-5=-40/-5

x=8

So the answer would then be 8. Also remember you can always check to see if your equation is correct by plugging your answer into the original equation

3(8) - 8(8) = -40

24 - 64 = -40

-40 = -40

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

The answer is 8 below is how you do it.

Step-by-step explanation:

first combine like terms 3x-8x

then you will have 5x

then do 40/5 and you will get x=8

Answer:

answer is 24.56cm

perimeter of half/semi circle =  \pi r + 2r

<em>one semi circle semi circles perimeter:  </em>\pi<em>*2+2*2 =10.283cm, </em>

<em>for two semi circles= 2*10.283 =20.566cm</em>

without the line below for two semi circle: 20.566-4-4=12.566 cm

both da side of rectangle is 6cm+6cm=12cm

now add the 12.566+12=24.56cm

Match the pairs of equations that represent concentric circles. Tiles
Darina [25.2K]
I will explain you and pair two of the equations as an example to you. Then, you must pair the others.

1) Two circles are concentric if they have the same center and different radii.

2) The equation of a circle with center xc, yc, and radius r is:

(x - xc)^2 + (y - yc)^2 = r^2.

So, if you have that equation you can inmediately tell the coordinates of the center and the radius of the circle.

3) You can transform the equations given in your picture to the form (x -xc)^2 + (y -yc)^2 = r2 by completing squares.

Example:

Equation: 3x^2 + 3y^2 + 12x - 6y - 21 = 0

rearrange: 3x^2 + 12x + 3y^2 - 6y = 21

extract common factor 3: 3 (x^2 + 4x) + 3(y^2 -2y) = 3*7

=> (x^2 + 4x) + (y^2 - 2y) = 7

complete squares: (x + 2)^2 - 4 + (y - 1)^2 - 1 = 7

=> (x + 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 12 => center = (-2,1), r = √12.

equation: 4x^2 + 4y^2 + 16x - 8y - 308 = 0

rearrange: 4x^2 + 16x + 4y^2 - 8y = 308

common factor 4: 4 (x^2 + 4x) + 4(y^2 -8y) = 4*77

=> (x^2 + 4x) + (y^2 - 2y) = 77

complete squares: (x + 2)^2  - 4 + (y - 1)^2 - 1 = 77

=> (x + 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 82 => center = (-2,1), r = √82

Therefore, you conclude that these two circumferences have the same center and differet r, so they are concentric.

Graph y=2/3x-4<br><br><br><br> i need help!!!!!
Irina18 [472]

Step-by-step explanation:

Y=2/3x-4 is in Slope - intercept form meaning you are shown the slope (how steep the line is) and the y intercept (where the equation hits the vertical axis)

With the given information, select the point (0, -4) on the graph, this is where the line crosses the y axis, as shown through the -4 in the equation.

Next, look at the slope and youll see 2/3x. Slope is in format "rise over run" meaning the first number (2) is the vertical change, so up two, and the second number (3) is horizontal change, right 3.

Combine these two steps together and select point (0. -4) then the next point should be at (3,2), 2 units up and three to the right from the y intercept.

I’ve been having trouble with these all week!
Kobotan [32]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

so you will move constant to the right side and change the sign. 72x=223-7

then you will subtract the numbers 72x=223-7 and that will give you 72=216

then you will divide both sides by 72  and that will give you

  1. x=3 .
