What is -296 = -8 (8a +5)? With work provided
Feliz [49]

Answer:

a = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

−296=−8(8a+5)

−296=(−8)(8a)+(−8)(5)

−296=−64a+−40

−296=−64a−40

Flip the equation

−64a−40=−296

Add 40 to both sides

−64a−40+40=−296+40

−64a=−256

Divide both sides by -64

(−64a ) / (−64) = (−256) / (−64)

a = 4

Briana finished the race one and forty - five hundredths of a second before Allison, Dana finished three tenths of a second afte
statuscvo [17]
Well Briana would have finished at 10.63 seconds (meaning she would have won XD)
Three-tenths can also be expressed as 0.3, and 0.3 + 12.08 is 12.38.
Hope this helps!! <3

17. For the parallelogram, find the value of the variables. Show your work. 5x + 2 3y - 6 21 17 24=3y-6 =&gt; 30=3y, y=10, 12 =
Dafna11 [192]
In this problem, you have already shown the solution.

24 = 3y - 6 => 30 = 3y, y =10

12 = 5x + 2 => 10 = 5x , x = 2

And yes, basically parallel sides must have the same length

These are the answers:

for 17.) x = 2
y = 10

for 18.) mid segment = (side 1 + side 2) / 2 -->
19 = (24 + side2) / 2 -->
38 = 24 + side2,

thus, side 2 = 14 units
