Solve the following: 328=8(5 - 6x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate x on one side of the equation.

You can also use distributive property.

First, switch sides.

8(5-6x)=328

Secondly, divide by 8 from both sides.

8(5-6x)/8=328/8

Solve.

328/8=41

5-6x=41

Thirdly, subtract 5 from both sides.

5-6x-5=41-5

Solve.

Subtract the numbers from left to right.

41-5=36

-6x=36

Then, divide by -6 from both sides.

-6x/6=36/6

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

36/6=6

Change positive to negative.

X=-6

So, the correct answer is X=-6 and (C.) -6.

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
