X-1=5x+3x-8help this confused child

1 answer:

4 0

X-1= 5x+3x-8

Combine like terms
x-1= 8x-8

Our goal is to isolate x by cancelling out other numbers.
Subtract x from both sides
x-1-x= 8x-x-8
-1= 7x-8

Add 8 to both sides
7=7x

Divide both sides by 7
1=x

Final answer: x=1

When does the value of f(x) = (1/2)x equal the value of g(x) =2x+8 ?

Zanzabum

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{f=g(x)\ \text{for}\ x=-\dfrac{16}{3}=-5\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When does the value of f(x) = (1/2)x equal the value of g(x) =2x+8?

$f(x)=g(x)\iff\dfrac{1}{2}x=2x+8\qquad|\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from bpoth sides}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}x-2x=2x-2x+8\\\\-1\dfrac{1}{2}x=8\qquad|\text{convert the mixed number to the improper fraction}\\\\-\dfrac{2\cdot1+1}{2}x=8\\\\-\dfrac{3}{2}x=8\qquad\text{multiply both sides by}\ -\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\left(-\dfrac{2\!\!\!\!\diagup}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup}\right)\left(-\dfrac{3\!\!\!\!\diagup}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup}x\right)=\left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)\cdot8\\\\x=-\dfrac{2\cdot8}{3}\\\\x=-\dfrac{16}{3}$

What is the product?<br><br> −5⋅(−3)⋅(−8)<br> A.-120<br> B.-16<br> C.16<br> D.120

Paha777 [63]

The product of the given expression is -120. Option A is correct

<h3>Product of negative numbers.</h3>

Given the expression below as shown;

−5⋅(−3)⋅(−8)

Since the product of two negative number is equal to positive, then;

−5⋅(−3)⋅(−8) = -8(5*3)

Simplify the result to have:

-8 * 15

find the final product

-8 * 15 = -8(5+10)

-8 * 15 = -40 - 80

-8 * 15 = -120

Hence the product of the given expression is -120
