Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the brackets:

2(x−8)=x+5x

2x - 16 = x + 5x

Simplify:

2x - 16 = 6x

Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:

2x - 16 - 2x = 6x - 2x

-16 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4:

-16 ÷ 4 = 4x ÷ 4

-4 = x

Hope this helps!

a sign says that the price marked on all music equipment is 30% off the original price you buy an electric guitar for sale price

prohojiy [21]

The original price is $450.

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

Step 1:

Given details, Discount%, D% = 30 and Selling Price, SP = $315

Step 2:

Write down formula for calculating the Original Price

Selling Price (SP) = Original Price (OP) - Discount (D)

Discount (D) = Original Price (OP) * (D%/100)

Step 3:

Substitute given values in the formula

315 = OP - D

D = $OP \times30/100$

D = 0.3 OP

Step 4:

Substitute value of D in the first formula

315 = OP - 0.3 OP

315 = OP (1 - 0.3) = 0.7 OP

Original Price, OP = 315/0.7 = $450

What is n? If 3 to the power of n equals 27

jok3333 [9.3K]

3^n=27

Solve Exponent.

3^n=27

log(3n)=log(27)(Take log of both sides)

n*(log(3))=log(27)

n=log(27) / log(3)

n=3

Can anyone help me solve this.I need proper equation..Thanks

artcher [175]

Answer:

y = 9 $\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

sin45° = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

sin45° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{9}{y}$

Multiply both sides by y

y × sin45° = 9, that is

y × $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$ = 9

Multiply both sides by $\sqrt{2}$

y = 9 $\sqrt{2}$
