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

The ages of three friends are consecutive integers. The sum of their ages is 45

Alborosie

45 = (x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2)

45 = 3x + 3

- 3

42 = 3x

/3

14 = x

45 = 14 + (14 + 1) + (14 + 2)

45 = 14 + 15 + 16

The ages of the 3 friends are 14, 15, and 16.

What is the distance between (1,-5) and (-3,6)

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\sqrt{137}\approx11.7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a distance between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

We have two points (1, -5) and (-3, 6). substitute:

$d=\sqrt{(-3-1)^2+(6-(-5))^2}=\sqrt{(-4)^2+11^2}=\sqrt{16+121}=\sqrt{137}$
