Answer:
x² -6x = -13
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the equation by 8, the current value of "a".
... (8x² -48x)/8 = -104/8
... x² -6x = -13
Answer:
18 small dogs
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the ratio of small dogs to all dogs was 3:7
Total dogs that are there = 42 dogs
Number of small dogs there = ratio of small/ratio of all dogs * Total dogs
Number of small dogs there = 3/7 * 42
Number of small dogs there = 3 * 6
Number of small dogs there = 18
Hence there are 18 small dogs there
Our goal is to get y by itself
We will first add 3x to both sides to get
-5y = 3x - 15
We will then divide both sides by -5 to get y by itself which becomes
y = -3/5x + 3
Answer:
x = - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
8x - 2 = -9 + 7x (add 2 to both sides)
8x - 2 + 2 = -9 + 7x + 2
8x = 7x - 7 (subtract 7x from both sides)
8x - 7x = 7x - 7 - 7x
x = - 7
