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

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

Im in need of help so please help[ :)))

Given:

Consider the pentagon MVEDR is dilated with the origin as the center of dilation using the rule $(x,y)\to(\dfrac{2}{3}x,\dfrac{2}{3}y)$ to create pentagon M'V'E'D'R'.

To find:

The correct statement.

Solution:

If a figure dilated by factor k, then the rule of dilation is

$(x,y)\to (kx,ky)$

Here,

If k>1, then the image is larger than the original figure.

If k<1, then the image is smaller than the original figure.

We have,

$(x,y)\to(\dfrac{2}{3}x,\dfrac{2}{3}y)$

Here, M'V'E'D'R' is image and MVEDR is original figure. The scale factor is

$k=\dfrac{2}{3}$

Pentagon M'V'E'D'R' is smaller than pentagon MVEDR because the scale factor is less than 1.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Homework: Geometry, part I (Perimeter)

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

(I don't know if this is correct)

To find the length of the rectangle, you need to first do 20 x 2 = 40 because when you finding the perimeter you have to do W + L + W + L = P (or Wx2 + Lx2 = P). You then subtract 40 from 68 (68 - 40) where you get 28 left. you then just divide 28/2 and you get 14. I may be way off but that's how I learned it.
