Answer:

x= -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

first distribute on both sides

8x -8 = -2x -16

isolate x on one side

10x = -8

x = -8/10

you can simplify that fraction to get

x= -4/5

8 ( x - 1) = -2 ( x + 8)
8x - 8 = -2 ( x + 8)
Distribute ^
Distribute again
8x - 8 = -2 (x + 8)
8x - 8 = -2x -16
Add 8 to both sides of the equation
X = -4/5

F the point T is between the points B and N, then which of the following is true?

valentina_108 [34]

Assuming T, B and N are all on the same line, then we can say

BT + TN = BN

which is the segment addition postulate.

Subtract TN from both sides to get
BT + TN = BN
BT + TN - TN = BN - TN
BT = BN - TN
BN - TN = BT

Which is what choice C is saying. Therefore the answer is choice C.

Simplify the expression

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3+4\iota}{2+4\iota}=\frac{3+4 \iota}{2+4\iota} \times \frac{2-4 \iota}{2-4 \iota}\\=\frac{6 -12 \iota+8 \iota-16 \iota^2 }{4-16 \iota^2 }\\=\frac{ 6-4 \iota+16}{4+16}\\=\frac{22-4 \iota}{20}$
