Rearrange the terms
5 - x = 8
-x + 5 = 8


Subtract 5 from both sides
-x + 5 = 8
-x+5-5 = 8-5

subtract the numbers ( simplify )
-x = 3


divide both sides
-x = 3
-x/-1 = 3/-1


simplify
x = 3/-1
x = -3





So therefore, your answer is x = -3

Please Help Me Asap I Need Units Too
Lina20 [59]

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon

<u>Let's take this problem step by step</u>:

<u>To find the rate of change is essentially like finding a line's slope</u>:

 ⇒ the <em>x-values</em> are the <em>number of sodas</em>

 ⇒ the<em> y-values </em>are the <em>total costs</em>

<em>               ⇒ choose</em> two sets of coordinates and find the slope

<u>Let's put that into action</u>

  • Choose any two points

        ⇒ (24, 18)

        ⇒ (28, 21)

  • Calculate Slope

        Rate_.of_.change = \frac{21-18}{28-24} =\frac{3}{4}

<u>Since the rate of change is total cost over number of sodas</u>

 ⇒ <em>unit is '</em>total cost/number of sodas'

<u>Answer: 3/4 total cost/number of sodas</u>

<u></u>

Hope that helps!

JA mattress store in Stafford purchased a mattress at a cost of $255 and marked it up 100%. Later on, Cassie bought the mattress
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

She pays $566.10

Step-by-step explanation:

The mattress store marks a mattress up 100%. 100% of $225 is 225. We add 225 to 225 and get 510. Therefore, the store sells the mattress for $510 without tax. When Cassie buys the mattress, we have to add 11% tax. We change 11% to 0.11 and multiply that by the selling price (510). We get 56.10, so that is the tax. We add the tax to the selling price and get $566.10. Cassie pays $566.10 for the mattress.

I hope this helped and please mark me as brainliest!

You are contrasting the numbers, so that means you are subtracting. When you subtract, the larger number goes on top..

7.47 - 6.75 = ?

So then you subtract and get $0.72.

I will make $0.72 more than I was at my current job.
