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

balandron [24]2 years 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

A diesel train traveled to the repair yards and
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

B.  16 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate × time

The best way to do this is to make a table with the info.  We are concerned with the trip There and the Return trip.  Set it up accordingly:

                    d     =     r     ×     t

There    

Return

The train made a trip from A to B and then back to A again, so the distances are both the same.  We don't know what the distance is, but it doesn't matter.  Just go with it for now.  It'll be important later.

               d     =     r     ×     t

There      d    

Return     d

We are also told the rates.  There is 70 km/hr and return is 80 km/hr

               d     =     r     ×     t

There      d     =    70

Return     d     =    80

All that's left is the time column now.  We don't know how long it took to get there or back, but if it took 2 hours longer to get There than on the Return, the Return trip took t and the There trip took t + 2:

                      d     =     r     ×     t

There             d     =    70   ×    t+2

Return            d     =    80   ×     t

The distances, remember, are the same for both trips, so that means that by the transitive property of equality, their equations can be set equal to each other:

70(t + 2) = 80t

70t + 140 = 80t

140 = 10t

14 = t

That t represents the Return trip's time.  Add 2 hours to it since the There trip's time is t+2.  So 14 + 2 = 16.  

B.  16 hours

What is the length of the diagonal of the rectangle?
Alika [10]

Answer:

21.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem since we know the legs

a^2+b^2 = c^2

12.75 ^2 + 17^2 = c^2

162.5625+289= c^2

451.5625 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(451.5625) =sqrt( c^2)

21.25 = c
