Hey there!

8(3x - 6) = 6(4x + 8)

8(3x) + 8(-6) = 6(4x) + 6(8)

24x - 48 = 24x + 48

SUBTRACT 24x to BOTH SIDES

24x - 48 - 24x = 24x + 48 - 24

SIMPLIFY IT!

NEW EQUATION: -48 = 48

ADD 48 to BOTH SIDES

-48 + 48 = 48 + 48

NEW EQUATION: 0 = 96

Thus this makes your equation has

NO SOLUTION.

Therefore, your answer is:

Option A. Because this is a false

statement, the equation has no solution.

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Addy bought a new shirt and she had a 20% off coupon . The coupon took $8.25 off of the price of her shirt. What did she pay wit

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

$33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Addy had 20% off coupon.

The coupon took $8.25 off of the shirt price.

Lets assume the original cost of shirt be "x".

We know Addy had 20% off coupon, which help to reduce the price of shirt by $8.25.

∴ We can form an equation to know the original price of shirt.

⇒ $\frac{20}{100} \times x= \$ 8.25$

⇒ $\frac{1}{5} \times x= \$ 8.25$

Multiplying both side by 5

⇒ $x= 8.25\times 5$

∴ $x= \$ 41.25$

Hence, The original cost price of shirt was $41.25.

Next, finding the price paid by Addy for her new shirt by reducing coupon discount from the cost of shirt.

Price paid by Addy for her new shirt= $\$ 41.25- \$ 8.25= \$ 33$

Hence, Addy paid $33 for her new shirt.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-2 1) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x-2y=8 ?

monitta

4x-2y=8 ==> y=2x-4 (to better show you what I mean)

2 lines are parallel if they have the same slope (m the coefficient of x).

So y=mx + b // y =2x-4 means m=2 & y=mx + b, becomes y=2x + b.
Moreover they are telling us that this function passes by (-2,1), where -2 represents x & 1, represents y. To calculate b , replace x & y by their values:
y=2x+b ==> 1 = 2(- 2) + b==> 1 = -4 + b ==> b= 5. Finally the equation is
y=-2x+5
