80y² - 5x²
Factorise
5(16y²-x²)
hope this helps
divide out any similar things, in this case, it is 5
put it outside the parenthesis, and leave the leftover inside the parenthesis
hope this helps
Answer:
x=-12
Step-by-step explanation:
8x=-104
8x÷8=-104÷8
x=-104÷8
x=-13
So you can say that the weight of a koala here can be x.
So x * 1/8 = 2
2 being the chinchilla's weight and the 1/8 coming from the fact that the chinchilla weighs 1/8 of the weight of the koala.
So you can just divide both sides by 1/8 first.
x * 1/8 = 2
/ 1/8 / 1/8
Or,
x *1/8 * 8/1 = 2 * 8/1
x = 16
So the koala weighs 16 pounds.
Ok so the first step would be to distribute 3 into 3x and -6. So 3 times 3x would be 9x. 3 times -6 is -18.
the equation now is
18 = 9x - 18
Now you would have to do inverse operation
18 = 9x - 18
+18 +18
36 = 9x
Now you would divide 9x into 36 to isolate the variable
36 / 9x = 4
x = 4
