\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \left(\frac{4}{10}\times x\right)-(2 \times x)+\frac{8}{5}=\frac{4}{5}    \end{gathered}$}

Reduce the fraction 4/10, to its minimum expression, extracting and canceling 2.

  • \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \frac{2}{5}x-2x+\frac{8}{5}=\frac{4}{5}    \end{gathered}$}

Combine \bf{\frac{2}{5}x } and -2x to get \bf{-\frac{8}{5}x}.

  • \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf -\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{8}{5}=\frac{4}{5} \     \end{gathered}$}

Subtract 8/5 from both sides.

  • \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf -\frac{8}{5}x=\frac{4}{5}-\frac{8}{5} \ \    \end{gathered}$}

Since 4/5 and 5/8 have the same denominator, join their numerators to subtract them.

  • \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf -\frac{8}{5}x=\frac{4-8}{5}   \end{gathered}$}

Subtract 8 from 4 to get -4.

  • \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf -\frac{8}{5}x=-\frac{4}{5}   \end{gathered}$}

Multiply both sides by \bf{-\frac{5}{8}}, the reciprocal of \bf{-\frac{5}{8}}.

  • \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf x=-\frac{4}{5}\left(-\frac{5}{8}\right)   \end{gathered}$}

Multiply -4/5 by -5/8 (to do this, multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator).

  • \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf x=\frac{-4(-5)}{5\times8} \ \to \ \ Multiply  \end{gathered}$}
  • \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf x=\frac{20}{40}  \end{gathered}$}

Reduce the fraction 20/40 to its lowest expression by extracting and canceling 20.

  • \boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf x=\frac{1}{2}  \end{gathered}$}}

What is the solution to the system of equations?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There is an error in the question. The table does not show two linear functions.  y₁ is a linear function, but   y₂ is not a straight line. It makes a bend at (-6,1).

Line 1 goes through (-12,-3) and (0,5).

slope  = (5-(-3))/(0-(-12)) = 2/3

y-intercept = 5

y₁ = (2/3)x + 5

Line 2 goes through (-12,-2) and (-6,1).

slope = (1-(-2))/(-6-(-12)) = 1/2

y₂ = (1/2)x + 4

(2/3)x + 5 = (1/2)x + 4

x = -6

y = (2/3)x + 5 = 1

Solution: (-6,1)

Nathalie has one large bowl of popcorn. She invite 3 friends over to watch a movie. Her brother takes 1/5 of the popcorn for him
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Each friend gets  \frac{1}{5}  of the popcorns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nathalie's brother takes 1/5 of the popcorn for himself.

so there is ( 1 - 1/5)

                 = 4/5 of the popcorns  left in the bowl

including Nathalie and her 3 friends, there are (3 + 1) = 4 persons.

So, each friend gets

\frac(4}{4 \times 5}

=\frac{1}{5}

of the popcorns
