7-x/3=-1-x/8 i'm in 8th grade and i can't figure this out

x = 38.4

Step-by-step explanation:

7-x/3 = -1-x/8

1. Add 1 to both sides

8-x/3 = -x/8

2. Add x/3 to both sides

8 = x/3 - x/8

3. Multiply x/3 by 8/8 and x/8 by 3/3 to get the same number under the quotient

8 = 8x/24 - 3x/24

4. calculate the difference between 8x/24 - 3x/24

8 = 5x/24

5. Multiply both sides by 24/5, and there is the answer

38.4 = x

there are lots of ways.   pick's theorem tells us if the vertices are lattice points the area a is

a = b/2 + i - 1

where b is the number of boundary lattice points and i is the number of interior lattice points.

in the figure i count b=16, i=50 so

a = 8 + 50 - 1 = 57

let's try the shoelace formula.   the area is half the sum of the cross products of the sides.  

a(-2,6)   -2(2)-6(-5) = 26

b(-5,2)   -5(-3) - 2(-2) = 19

c(-2,-3) -2(-3) - (-3)(4) = 18

d(4,-3)   4(3) - (-3)(5) = 27

e(5,3)   5(3) - 3(1) = 12

f(1,3)     1(6) - 3(-2) = 12

a(-2,6)

each of the cross products is twice the area of the triangle with the associated side and one vertex the origin. so the area of abo=26/2=13.

area = (1/2) (26 + 19 +   18 + 27 + 12 + 12) = 57

that checks!

the solution is x=1

step-by-step explanation:

we are given our   equation as

let's assume

left side function is

right side function is

now, we can draw graph

and then we can get intersection point

the intersection point will be solution

so, the solution is

x=1
