Find the value of 5w-1 given that 3w-4=8
Simplify your answer as much as possible

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of w.

3w - 4 = 8

Isolate the variable, w. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, add 4 to both sides:

3w - 4 (+4) = 8 (+4)

3w = 8 + 4

3w = 12

Divide 3 from both sides to fully isolate the variable, w:

(3w)/3 = (12)/3

w = 12/3

w = 4

Plug in 4 for w in the first expression & solve:

5w - 1

5(4) - 1

20 - 1

19 is your value.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to solve for w by isolating it

3w-4=8

Add 4 to both sides

3w=12

Divide both sides by 3

w=4

Now we know w and can plug 4 in for w and solve

5w-1

5(4)-1

20-1

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
