The answer is A
8x-27=8x-32+5
Delete 8x
-27=-27
The question is worded poorly, but it looks like you have a lever in equilibrium, with a force x at a distance d from the fulcrum, and a force y at a distance L - d from the fulcrum. You already have the equilibrium formula for this situation:
xd = y(L - d)
If you know x, y, and d, you can solve for the length L.


for example, let's look at the first set
y+3x =5 or y = -3x+ 5
and y = -3x + 2
y = m + b
the slopes are equal, the y-intercepts differ
that means, they're just parallel lines, no solution
Answer: C.) 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
2/4 simplified = 1/2
1/2 = "one half"
= 50%
