Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
-x+4=2x-8
4=2x-(-x)-8
4=2x+x-8
4=3x-8
3x=4+8
3x=12
x=12/3
x=4
Answer:
d=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor d^2 - 2d - 8 into (d-4)(d+2)
Move -2/d+2 onto the other side, changing it into 2/d+2.

Let the empty side equal zero.
Add 3/d-4 and 2/d+2

Then add that to -3d.

Multiply 0 by d+2 and d-4 to get 2d-2 by itself.
2d=2
d=1
I can't edit the equation, but it's d-4 althroughout the question. Sorry for being so slow.
Start with an equation.
Nine less... so -9
3 times a number = 3x
Greater than 40 is >40
So put together is 3x-9>40
When solving I imaging the greater than sign as an equal sign. Less confusing.
3x-9=40
3x=49
x>49/3
$163,500
5000(0.09) x 30 = 13,500
5000 x 30 = 150,000
Altogether 163,500
