Solve : -8x+3=-29

A: 256
B:4
C:3
D:-40

It would be B: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

to evaluate for the value of x in  -8x+3=-29

combine the like terms and evaluate.

-8x+3=-29

-8x = -29 -3

-8x = -32

divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is -8

-8x = -32/-8

x = 4

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
