Your going to be using the distributive property for this question.
So after you have distributed the 2 to the X and the -4 , you are left with 2x-8=-24
Next, add the 8 to the -24
So your left with 2x=16
Lastly, divide 16/2

Your answer should be x=8
Hope this helped!

I need help. Suppose angle ABC equals 110. What is angle DBC? Would it be 70?
stira [4]
Now, notice the "tickmarks" on the angles, that means those two angles are equal, now if ∡ABC is 110, then the remaining is 70, 180 - 110, and if you subtract the 70 from 110, what's left is ∡DBC.

You are mixing two kinds of candy to make 10 pounds of a mixture worth $5.50 per pound. One kind is $6 per pound and the other i
Feliz [49]

Answer:

5.60 pounds each

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the dry mixture problem.

Let x = the number of pounds of the first type of candy

Therefore, number of pounds of second type of candy = 10-x

Value of first candy + value of second candy = value of mixture

Value of any candy = cost per pound of candy * weight of candy

Thus:

4x + 6(10 - x) = 5.60(10)

4x + 60 - 6x = 56

-2x + 60 = 56

-2x = -4

x = -4/-2

x = 2

Therefore, the number of pounds of first type of candy = 2 pounds

The number of pounds of second type of candy = 10 - 2 = 8 pounds

Check

$4(2) + $6(8) =

           8 + 48 = $5.60(10)

               $56 = $56
