Get rid of brackets:
21x +6 +8x
Put 6 to the other side:
21x +8x = -6
27x = -6
Divide both sides by 27
X= -0.22
Answer:
follow the statement below
Step-by-step explanation:
The question you presented here has multiple (un-limited) solutions unless you have another condition to solve for a single solution.
Equation: y = ax² + bx + c
y intercept (0 , 3): c = 3
axis of symmetry x=-5, therefore a corresponding point (-10,3) on the curve
3 = a*(-10)² + b*(-10) + 3
100a - 10b = 0
b = 10a .... any pair like a=0.5 b=5; a=1 b=10 0r a=2 b=20 ..... all fit the function
y = 0.5x² + 5x +3
y = x² + 10x + 3
y = 2x² + 20x +3

Since the polys are similar, the following equation of ratios is true:
7/8 = x/3. Cross multiplying produces 21=8x, and so x = 21/8 (answer)
Length of wooden flooring strip =
or 
Length of strip cut off =
or 
So, the new length of the strip will be=

=
Hence, the new length of the flooring strip will be
inches and in mixed fraction it will be
inches.
The only factors that equal 62 are
62 • 1 = 62
and
31 • 2 = 62.
Hope this helps!
