We would subtact 3 from both sides allowing the equation to simplify to -8c=32
We would then divide both sides by -8 to equal -4
The final answer C=-4
Depends on your state. Each state is different. I'll try to post the complete list.

Answer:
A. (55 x 5) - (40 x 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
You are solving how much miles (further along) would the second car be after 5 hours.
The first car averages 40 miles per hour. 5 hours later, it will have averaged about 200 miles in 5 hours (40 x 5 = 200).
The second car averages 55 miles per hour. 5 hours later, it will have averaged about 275 miles in 5 hours (55 x 5 = 275)
Subtract: 275 - 200 = 75
The second car would have averaged 75 more miles than the first car.

This implies


We multiply through by LCM of


We expand to get,

We group like terms and equate everything to zero,

We split the middle term,

We factor to get,





But

is not in the domain of the given equation.
It is an extraneous solution.

is the only solution.
QUESTION 2

We add x to both sides,

We square both sides,

We expand to get,

This implies,
