Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this equation, first we need to make the equation easier to read.

So instead of:

8x - (-5) = 29

We will do:

8x + 5 = 29

<em>(</em><em>Note</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>have</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>plus</em><em> </em><em>sign</em><em> </em><em>now</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>because</em><em> </em><em>subtracting</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>negative</em><em> </em><em>number</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>same</em><em> </em><em>as</em><em> </em><em>adding</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>positive</em><em> </em><em>number</em><em>.</em><em>)</em>

Next we move the 5 to the other side of the equal sign, by subtracting it.

Now we have:

8x = 24

Finally we isolate the x variable, by dividing by 8 on both sides.

(24 ÷ 8 = 3)

Our answer is 3, therefore x = 3.

Hope this helps you :)

James sees a truck at the dealership for $28,000
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. $28,200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that James saw a truck at the dealership for $ 28,000 base price, $ 1,300 premium interior, $ 1,200 navigation touch-screen, and $ 1,700 smart traffic sensors, if his current vehicle is worth $ 5,000 and he's offered a 60% trade-in rate, to determine what is the total cost of the car after the $ 1,000 destination fee, the following calculation must be made:

28,000 + 1,300 + 1,200 + 1,700 - (5,000 x 60/100) = X

32,200 - (5,000 x 0.6) = X

32,200 - 3,000 = X

29,200 = X

29,200 - 1,000 = 28,200

Therefore, the total cost of the car after the $ 1,000 destination fee is $ 28,200.

Answer:

40units²

Step-by-step explanation:

find the shapes you know the formula of. There's two shapes a rectangle and a trapezoid.

do the formula for rectangle

A = bh

A = 8×2

A = 16

Now the formula for Trapezoid

A = 1/2h(b+b)

A = 1/2×4(4+8)

A = 1/2×4(12)

A = 1/2(48)

A = 24

16+24 = 40
