Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-8(x-6) = 32 (distribute)

-8x+48 = 32 (subtract 48 from both sides)

-8x = -16 (divide)

x = 2

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides :

−8(x−6)=32

Divide both sides of the eqaution by -8 :

x - 6 = -4

Move the constant to the right :

x - 6 = -4

Move the constant to the right - hand side and change its sign :

x = -4 + 6

Calculate :

x = -4 + 6

Calculate the sum :

x = 2

Therefore, the answer is x = 2

Answer:

Price of Caleb's groceries before tax = $64

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of groceries before tax be =$ $x$

Sales tax charged = $1.60

Sales tax rate =2.5%

Sales tax charged in terms of $x$ will be = 2.5% of the Original price of grocery = $2.5\% of x = 0.025\times x=0.025x$

So, we have,

$0.025x=1.60$

Dividing both sides by $0.025$

$\frac{0.025x}{0.025}=\frac{1.60}{0.025}$

∴ $x=64$

∴ Price of Caleb's groceries before tax = $64

Use the Side-Splitter Theorem to find x, given that PQ||BC . The figure is not drawn to scale.

MrRa [10]

Answer: x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Accoding to the Side-Splitter Theorem, if a line interesect two sides of the triangle and it is parallel to the third side, then the other two sides are divided by the line proportionally.

2. Then, you can form the following proportion:

$\frac{PA}{BP}=\frac{QA}{CQ}$

3. Substitute values and solve for x:

$\frac{8}{x}=\frac{12}{18}\\18*8=12x\\x=12$

5. A Major League Baseball stadium sells three types of tickets. Reserved tickets are sold for $20 each, field-level tickets are

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: A) When all three ticket prices generate the same revenue.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reserved tickets cost $20 each.

Field-level tickets cost $50 each.

Seat tickets cost $100 each.

Then if x represents the number of reserved tickets sold, the total revenue for the reserved tickets will be:

R(x) = x*$20

If w represents the number of field-level tickets sold, the total revenue for field-level tickets will be:

F(w) = w*$50

If y represents the number of seat tickets sold, then the total revenue for the seat tickets will be:

S(y) = y*$100

Those equations will intersect when:

R(x) = F(w) = S(y)

This will mean that they will intersect when all three tickets have the same revenue, then the correct option is:

A) When all three ticket prices generate the same revenue.
