Answer:
x = - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
- 8 = - 2x - 12
- 8 + 12 = - 2x - 12 + 12
- 2x = 4
- 2x ÷ - 2 = 4 ÷ - 2
x = - 2
If the perimeter is 98 cm, the sum of the lengths of two adjacent sides is 49 cm.
... (2x -1) + (3x +5) = 49 . . . . use the given information and relation
... 5x +4 = 49 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
... 5x = 45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4
... x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
The left side dimension is then
... 2x -1 = 2·9 -1 = 17 . . . . cm
The top dimension is
... 3x +5 = 3·9 +5 = 32 . . . . cm
The rectangle is 17 cm by 32 cm.
Answer:
The total cost y of a meal.....
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost of the meal Y suggests addition, which if you added the x and w portions, you would end up with y.
The other answers suggest subtraction, division, or multiplication, which is not being illustrated by the model.
-54-7r=10+25r
-7r-25r=10+54
-32r=64
r=64/-32
r=-2
