Answer: The goal is to get x alone on one side of the equals sign. First, isolate the variable by applying the subtraction property of equality to subtract 1

x from both sides. Next, find a common denominator to combine like terms. Then use inverse operations to multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction coefficient. The result will be x = 16. Finally, check the solution by substituting 16 for x in the original equation.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8x = 1/2x + 2

5/8x - 1/2x = 2

46x = 2

x=16

So you want to get x by itself so you. First you get 5/8x and 1/2 and subtract 1/2 from both sides. Then find the common demonantor for both numbers. After use inverse operations to multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction coefficient. Finally check the solution by substituting 16 for x in the original equation.

Is 3x+4y=7 linear or nonlinear

Sloan [31]

Linear. It's in the form C= ax + by, so you back solve to get into the form you know is linear (y= mx + b). So using SADMEP (opposite of Pemdas) we can decide which order to solve for "Y=" in. 4y =7-3x. Y=((7-3X)/4). Y= 7/4 -3/4x. Y=-3/4x +7/4. Which is linear

Theorem 8.18 and the Pythagorean Theorem to find the side lengths of the kite . Write the lengths in simplest radical form and a

Viktor [21]

Answer:

$|WX|=|XY|=\sqrt{18} =3\sqrt{2}\:Units \:or\: 4.2 \:Units\\|WZ|=|YZ|=\sqrt{34} \:Units \:or\: 5.8 \:Units$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Theorem: The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular.</u>

Let O be the point of intersection of the diagonals,

Applying Pythagoras Theorem, in right triangle WOX

$|WX|^2=|WO|^2+|OX|^2\\|WX|^2=3^2+3^2=18\\|WX|=\sqrt{18} =3\sqrt{2}\:Units \:or\: 4.2 \:Units$

Applying Pythagoras Theorem, in right triangle WOZ

$|WZ|^2=|WO|^2+|OZ|^2\\|WX|^2=3^2+5^2=34\\|WZ|=\sqrt{34} \:Units \:or\: 5.8 \:Units$

Answer: line N

Lenght of XY: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line N splits <u>XY</u> into two parts

5x+8=9x+12

-9x on each side

-4x+8=12

-8 on each side

-4x=4

divide by -4 on each side

Walden’s family is shopping for a reclining chair. The chair the family decided on has a retail price of $800 plus 5% sales tax

Marianna [84]

Answer:

B 10% off sale, with a total price to pay of 756

Step-by-step explanation:

Retail price (Rp) = $800

Taxes (T) = 5%

Offer A $75 instant rebate

Total price A (TA) = Rp - 75 + (Rp - 75) 5%

TA = 800 - 75 + (800-75) 5%

TA = 725 + 725 5%

725 5% = 725*5/100 = 36.25

TA= 725+36.25 = $761.25

Offer B 10% off sale

Total price B (TB) = RP - RP 10% + (RP - RP 10%) 5%

TB = 800 - 800 10% + (800 - 800 10%) 5%

800 10% = 800*10/100 = 80

TB = 800 - 80 + (800 - 80) 5%

TB = 720 + 720 5%

720 5% = 720*5/100 = 36

TB = 720 + 36 = $756

Offer C 5% off sale plus store pays sales tax

store pays sales tax means Walden's family will not need pay for taxes

Total price C (TC) = RP - RP 5%

TC = 800 - 800 5%

800 5% = 800*5/100 = 40

TC = 800 - 40 = $760

Offer D a “no tax” sale—the store pays the tax

Means that Walden's family will need pay just the retail price

TD = $800

The beast deal is from the store B
