D.) 7(8 - X) - 5 = 40

let X = unknown number

eigth minus a number is 8 - x. since the product is seven and eight minus a number then 7 * [8-x] or 7(8-5).
40 is its equivalent when the product is decreased by 5; therefore, 7(8-x) - 5 = 40.

Answer : D  7(8-x)-5 = 40

The product of eight minus a number and seven equals forty when decreased by five

Let the unknown number be x

eight minus a number means 8 -x

For product we multiply

The product of eight minus a number and seven

It means the product of 8-x  and 7

So expression becomes 7(8-x)

The product of eight minus a number and seven equals forty when decreased by five

To decrease by 5 we subtract 5

7 (8-x) -5 and this equals 40

So equation becomes 7(8-x)-5 = 40

Consider the system of equations.
Harman [31]

The solution to the system of equations x + 2y = 1  and -3x-2y = 5 is:

x  = -3,  y = 2

The given system of equations:

x  +  2y  =  1............(1)

-3x - 2y  =  5..........(2)

This can be written in matrix form as shown:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\-3&-2\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\5\end{array}\right]

Find the determinant of \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\-3&-2\end{array}\right]

\triangle = 1(-2) - 2(-3)\\\triangle = -2+6\\\triangle  = 4

\triangle_x = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\5&-2\end{array}\right]\\\triangle_x = 1(-2)-2(5)\\\triangle_x = -2-10\\\triangle_x =-12

\triangle_y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\-3&5\end{array}\right]\\\triangle_y = 1(5)-1(-3)\\\triangle_y = 5 + 3\\\triangle_y =8

x = \frac{\triangle_x}{\triangle} \\x = \frac{-12}{4} \\x = -3

y = \frac{\triangle_y}{\triangle} \\y = \frac{8}{4} \\y = 2

The solution to the system of equations x + 2y = 1  and -3x-2y = 5 is:

x  = -3,  y = 2

A hockey season ticket holder pays $88.56 for her tickets plus $5.00 for a program each game. A second person pays $19.76 for a
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: x = 6

Step-by-step explanation: If you take 88.56 + 5x = 19.76x, an equation, you should first rearrange the variables to the left side of the equation: 5x - 19.76x = -88.56.

Next, you should combine your like terms. So, -14.76 = -88.56.

Then, divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable. So, x = -88.56 / -14.76./

Lastly, calculate. Determine the sign for multiplication or division, so x = 88.56 / 14.76. Multiply both the numerator and denominator with the same integer. So, x = 8856 / 1476. Cross out the common factor, then you get your answer of x = 6

The measures angles of hexagon are 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x and 9x. calculate the size of the largest angle.​
ankoles [38]

Answer:

rounded to the nearest whole number = 166

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all of the angles together, to get 39x. In a hexagon, all the angles add up to 720. Divide 720 by 39 to get x, then multiply x by 9, as that is the largest angle to get an answer rounded to the nearest whole number of 166.
