Given the equation 8(2x+5)=3x + 4x: a. Find the solution for x.

b. Write a step-by-step procedure for how to do a problem that is the same as this one.

the answer is x= -40/9

Step-by-step explanation:

8(2x+5)=3x+4x

16x+40=3x+4x

16x+40=7x

16x=7x-40

16x-7x=40

9x=-40

x= -40/9

x=-40/9

Step-by-step explanation: 1. Distribute:16x+40=3x+4x

2.Combine like terms:16x+40=7x

3.Subtract40from both sides of the equation:16x+40-40=7x-40

4.Simplify1 6x=7x-40

5.Subtract7x   from both sides of the equation:1 6x-7x=7x-40-7x

6.Solution:x=-40/9

answer: t=3

step-by-step explanation:

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
