What is the answer to <br> 8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17)
nadezda [96]

Answer:

x=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you distribute the 8 over the (x-3) giving you 8x-24. Do the same for 2x and (4-17). That should give you 8x-34x.

Your equation should look like : 8x-24+7=8x-34x

Next try to balance out your equation. You want your x's all by themselves in order to solve.

The 8x's cancel eachother out so you have -24+7= -34x.

Add the like terms of -24 and 7 to get -17.

Equation: -17= -34x

Divide both sides by -34 to get x by itself.

-17/-34 = x

Reduce by dividing the numerator and denominator by 17 to get -1/-2

Since they are both negative the fraction turns positive.

So the answer should be x=1/2

Verizon [17]

<u>1) </u> width=x-9

2) Rectangular shape is square shape patio !

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have ,  the area of Bianca’s rectangular backyard patio is represented by the expression x2 – 18x + 81, and the length of the patio is represented by the expression x − 9: We need to find

1. what is the expression for the width of the patio? Explain and show all work.

We know that area of rectangle = Length(width)

⇒ x^2-18x+81=(x-9)(width)

Factorizing RHS:

⇒ x^2-9x-9x+81=(x-9)(width)

⇒ x(x-9)-9(x-9)=(x-9)(width)

⇒ (x-9)(x-9)=(x-9)(width)

⇒ width=x-9

2. what special rectangular shape is the patio?

Now , we see that

Length = x-9\\Width=x-9

A rectangle whose length & width are equal is known as a square ! Hence ,  Rectangular shape is square shape patio !
