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} \\

8 is subtracted from twice a number
ankoles [38]

Answer:

2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "from" tells you that the first part of the sentence should be at the back of the equation because you're taking from the product of 2 times a number, the number is unknown so it is known as "x."

Triangle WXY has coordinates W(1, 4), X(1, 1), and Y(4, 1). Which of the following sets of points represents a dilation of trian
Dmitrij [34]
The answer is the second option, option B, which is: B. <span>W'(2,8), X'(2,2), Y'(8,2)
</span> The explanation is shown below:
 You have the Triangle WXY has coordinates W(1,4), X(1,1), and Y(4,1) and the Triangle of the option B has coordinates W'(2,8), X'(2,2), Y'(8,2). As you can notice, the coordinates of the new triangle are the result of multiply the coordinates of the original triangle by a scale of factor of 2. Therefore, in other words, the Triangle WXY was dilated with a scale of factor of 2.

Slope intercepts <br> No links, Will mark BRAINLIEST
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

<em><u>Lines are perpendicular to each other .</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard equation  of line is : y = mx + c, Where m represents the slope

Given Equations :

y = -5x + 1\\\\Slope , m_1 = -5

y = \frac{1}{5}x +1\\\\Slope, m_2 = \frac{1}{5}

Two lines are parallel if the slope of the lines are same.

Two line are perpendicular if the product of the slope = - 1

Clearly slopes are not equal , therefore the lines are not parallel.

           product of the slope is - 1, therefore the lines are perpendicular.  

                                m_1 \times m_2 = -5 \times \frac{1}{5} = - 1
