Six times the sum of a number and eight is nineteen . Which of the following equations could be used to find the number

6x = -29 (Bear in mind I can't see all of the options you can pick from, so this is the closest I can get.)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write out the equation.

6(8 + x) = 19. x is our unknown, or our variable.

Now, simplify the equation.

6(8 + x) = 19

48+ 6x = 19

Next, isolate the variable (get the variable alone)

48 + 6x = 19

-48          -48

6x = -29.

Finally, solve (Your solution should lay along the lines of the equation directly above this, but if it wants the solution here it is.)

6x = -29

/6      /6

x = -4.8333

since both sides equal, there are infinitely many olutions.

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
