Write an equation to represent the following description "fourteen less than 8 times a number is -11

(8 * x) -14 = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

* = multiply sign (i didnt want to put "x" as the multiply sign since "x" is already being used) ( mightve confused you with 2 "x"s in the parenthesis.

x = the number that is missing being multiplied by 8

I put "8" multiplied by "x" in parenthesis since you do parenthesis first in an equation.

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
