X + 25/-8 = -6 Solve for x. Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Mathematics
1 answer:
balandron [24]1 year ago

Step-by-step explanation:

if there is nothing missing, we have

x + 25/-8 = -6

in order to compare or add or subtract fractions, we need to bring them all to the same denominator (bottom part).

remember, integer numbers are fractions too. like here

-6 = -6/1

25/-8 = -25/8

so, how can we bring -6/1 to .../8 ?

by multiplying 1 by 8.

but we cannot multiply only the denominator by 8. otherwise we would suddenly have

-6/8

and is -6/8 = -6/1 ? no, certainly not.

to keep the original value of the fraction we have to do the same multiplication also with the numerator (top part).

so, we actually do

-6/1 × 8/8 = -48/8

with this little trick we have now .../8 to operate with, and our transformed fraction has still the same value

-6/1 = -48/8 indeed.

so, we have

x + -25/8 = -48/8

x - 25/8 = -48/8

x = -48/8 + 25/8 = -23/8

En la ciudad de Huaraz se instalaron tuberias para distribuir gas natural el 2018.Si sabemos que durante la instalacion se hizo
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

11th revision

Step-by-step explanation:

The first revision is in 2018, and for each 3 years there is a new revision.

From 2018 to 2048, there are 30 years.

So to find how many revisions there are, we can divide the 30 years by the period of 3 years:

Number of revisions = total period / period per revision = 30 / 3 = 10 revisions.

As the year 2018 also has a revision, we have 10 + 1 = 11 total revisions.

So in 2048 there will be the 11th revision.
