Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-15x - 40 = 23 - 8x  

Add 8x to both sides

-15x + 8x - 40 = 23

          -7x - 40 = 23

Add 40 to both sides

                - 7x = 23 + 40

                  -7x = 63

 Divide both sides by (-7)

            x = 63/-7

x = -9

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-15x - 40 = 23 - 8x

<em>add 8x to both sides to bring -8x to the left side</em>

-15x + 8x - 40 = 23

<em>add 40 to both sides to bring -40 to the right side</em>

-15x + 8x = 23 + 40

<em>add the common terms</em>

-7x = 63

<em>for x to be alone divide -7 to both sides</em>

x = -9

<em>I hope this helped!</em>

In the diagram below, the top of each stair is parallel to the floor. What is the value of y?
Semmy [17]
The value of y would be C) 38 degrees because if the floor and the top of the stair are parallel, then that makes the diagonal line a transversal, therefore the 38 degree angle and y are alternate interior angles.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

−25 is 25 units to the left of zero on a number line and

The opposite of −25 is 25 units to the right of zero on a number line.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • a line on which we have numbers from negative infinity till positive infinity is a number line.
  • so, it will obviously have 0 in the middle.
  • in the left we will have negative numbers and on the right of 0 we will have positive numbers.
  • the magnitude of the  numbers will be increasing from 0 on both the sides.
  • see the uploaded image in the attachment for better understanding.
  • so, by seeing the image in attachment, we can say that,

−25 is 25 units to the left of zero on a number line and

The opposite of −25 is 25 units to the right of zero on a number line.

here, opposite of -25 refers to +25, which will be 25 units to the right of zero on a number line.
