Use the area of rectangle formula which is:

\displaystyle \large \tt{A = width \times length}

Given that:

  • area of rectangle = 16
  • width = 8
  • length = x-5

Substitute in the formula:

\displaystyle \large{16 = 8 \times (x - 5)} \\  \displaystyle \large{16 = 8(x - 5)}

Distribute 8 in the expression:

\displaystyle \large{16 = (8 \times x) + (8 \times ( - 5))} \\  \displaystyle \large{16 = 8x - 40}

Move -40 to another side and change from -40 to 40.

\displaystyle \large{16 + 40 = 8x} \\    \displaystyle \large{56= 8x} \\

Then move 8 to divide 56, leaving only x.

\displaystyle \large{ \frac{56}{8} = x} \\    \displaystyle \large{7 = x} \\

Hence, the answer is:

\displaystyle \large \boxed{x = 7} \\

Find an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the indicated slope:
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
"Undefined" slope means the line on the graph is vertical, and that
tells the whole story right there.  The 'x' coordinate is the same for
every point on the line.  If  (6, -1)  is a point on the line, then you know
that the x-value of EVERY point on it is  6 . 

It's a vertical line that intersects the x-axis at  x=6,  and the equation
of the line is  x=6 .

Can someone please help me please I really need help please answer it correctly

Answer:

<h3>Princeton Florist</h3>

Let the total charge is y, the number of small arrangements is x.

<u>Total charge will be:</u>

  • y = 13x + 47
<h3>Chad's Flowers</h3>

<u>Total charge will be:</u>

  • y = 17x + 35

<u>Since the total charge is same in both shops, we have:</u>

  • 13x + 47 = 17x + 35

<u>Solve for x:</u>

  • 17x - 13x = 47 - 35
  • 4x = 12
  • x = 3

<u>Total cost is:</u>

  • 13*3 + 47 = 39 + 47 = 86

<u>Small arrangements</u> = 3, <u>cost </u>= $86
