Answer:
-18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be our number. First we have to write our equation.
The product of a number and -8 is represented as -8x (-8 multiplied by x). Remember that 'product' signifies multiplication.
The result is eight times the sum of x and 36. This is represented as 8(x + 36). We add x and 36 first because 8 has been multiplied by the sum of those two numbers.
So our equation is:
-8x = 8(x + 36)
We can now solve for x. First, expand the bracket.
-8x = 8x + 288
Next, subtract 8x from both sides. This will give us only one term containing x, which will make it easier to solve.
-8x - 8x = 8x + 288 - 8x
-16x = 288
Divide both sides by -16
x = -18
Answer:
Valid
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x-4)=x+4 <em>Given</em>
3x-12=x+4 <em>Distribute</em>
2x=16<em> Subtract x from both sides and add 12 to both sides</em>
x=8 <em>Divide each side by 2.</em>

28 is the correct answer.
Answer:
30 years
Step-by-step explanation:
2 is a factor of 30, so the LCM of 2 and 30 is 30.
Saturn and Mars will appear in the same direction in the night sky every 30 years.
Answer:
y=9/6 (3/2 simplified)
Step-by-step explanation:
