What is the solution to this equation? 5x - 4 + 3x = 36 a. x = 5 b. x = 16 c. x = 20 d. x = 4

Let's do this in steps, show your work!   | Make sure to ask questions!

#1. Simplify 5x - 4 + 3 to 8x - 4.

8x - 4 = 36.

#2. Add 4 to both sides.

8x = 36 + 4.

#3. Simplify 36 + 4 to 40.

8x = 40.

#4. Divide both sides by 8.

x = 40/8.  < It turned into a fraction because it's easier to not divide a decimal.

#5. Simplify 40/8 to 5.  

x = 5.

use google you idiot omg you're so annoying

step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.
