Answer from: abigailweeks10

The value of x is -29.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an algebraic equation and have one goal: solve for x. We can use simplifying techniques as well as addition and subtraction to solve this equation.

$\text{7x - 5 = 8(x + 3) \ \ \ Distribute the 8 throughout the parentheses.}\\\text{7x - 5 = 8x + 24 \ \ \ \ Subtract 7x from both sides.}\\\text{-5 = x + 24 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Flip the equation.}\\\text{x + 24 = -5 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Subtract 24 from both sides.}\\\small\boxed{\bold{{x = -29}}}$

Now that we have solved for x, we can plug in -29 to see if we get a true statement.

$\text{7(-29) - 5 = 8(-29 + 3)}\\\text{-203 - 5 = -232 + 24}\\\text{-208 = -208} \ \checkmark$

Because we ended up with a true statement, we have determined that the value of x is -29.

Answer from: ariellllllllllllllll

$7x - 5 = 8(x + 3) \\ 7x - 5 = 8x + 24 \\ 8x - 7x = - 24 - 5 \\ \boxed{x = - 29}$

x = -29 is the right answer.

Answer: question no. 1 -a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -b. 59°question no. 3 -c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -b. mn and qrstep-by-step explanation: question no. 1 -rs : xu = 3 : 7.5 = 2 : 5rt : x? = 6.4 : 16 = 2 : 5st : u? = 6 : 15 = 2 : 5as the ratios of all sides are equivalent, the triangles must be congruent and the sides must be proportional.therefore, the answer is: a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -in the second diagram, angle b is the only letter not shown. therefore, the number must be equivalent to angle b.if we substitute the value of angle b as being 22° in the first diagram, we can now use the angle sum of a triangle to obtain the value of angle a.angle sum of a triangle = 180°therefore: let angle a = aa + 99 + 22 = 180a = 180 - 99 - 22a = 59°therefore, the answer is: b. 59°question no. 3 -angles x and y don't share the vertex of the triangle with the exterior angle w. remote interior angles don't share a vertex of a triangle with an exterior angle. this means that angles x and y are remote interior angles.therefore, the answer is: c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -the sum of all interior angles of a triangle must be equivalent to 180°.90°, 45° and 45° are the only set of angle measures that are equivalent to 180°.therefore, the answer is: d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -the only pair of sides stated in the options which are corresponding are mn and qr.therefore, the answer is: b. mn and qr.

Answer from: Quest

$f(x) = (\sqrt[4]{162})^x = (162^{1/4})^x = 162^{x/4}.$

$162 = 2 \times 3^4$

then

$f(x) = (\sqrt[4]{162})^x = (\sqrt[4]{2\times 3^4})^x = (3\sqrt[4]{2} )^x = (3\times 2^{1/4})^x$
