Asap! 20 points! 5 questions! 1. the sum of 8 and 5 times a number is 43. which equation below can be used to find the unknown number? a) (8 + 5)n = 43 b) 8 + 5n = 43 c) (8 + n) = 43 d) 8(5n) = 43 2. marcos drove twice as far a candice. together, they drove 66 miles. which equation can be used to find the number of miles candice drove? a) 3x = 66 b) 2x + 1/2x = 66 c) 3x = 66 + x d) 3x = 66 - x 3. a 180 ft long board is cut into 3 pieces. the second piece of board is twice as long as the first. the third piece of board is six times as long as the first. what is the length of the first piece of the board? a) 20 ft b) 40 ft c) 60 ft d) 120 ft 4. the difference of 5 times a number and 8 is 27, which equation below can be used to find the unknown number? a) (8 - 5) - n = 27 b) 8 - 5n = 27 c) 5n - 8 = 27 d) 8 + 5 - n = 27 5. a secretary at the police department makes $8 less per hour than the dispatcher. the combined hourly wage of the secretary and the dispatcher is $40. which equation could be used to find the hourly wage of the dispatcher? a) 2x + 8 = 40 b) 2x - 8 = 40 c) 8 = 2x = 40 d) (8 - 2)x = 40

1. Let the unknown number be x

The phrase “8 and” means addition so that’s 8 +

5 times a number is multiplication so that’s 5 times x, or simply, 5x

So the correct equation would be 8 + 5x = 43

And the correct value for variable x is 7

8 + 35 = 43

2. A

3. Here we can see that there has to be a single unknown variable and using that variable we have to create an equation. That equation will ultimately help us to find the exact value of the variable. This way we can easily reach the answer that is asked in the question.

Let us assume the length of the first piece = x

Length of the second piece = 2x

Length of the third piece = 6x

Now we can get to the equation

x + 2x + 6x = 180

9x = 180

x = 180/9

 = 20

So the length of the first piece of the board is 20 feet.I hope i have explained the problem to your satisfaction and understanding

the most boring thing ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.
