multiply everything by 8

2x+16 = -5x-40

-16 on both sides

2x = -5x-56

+5x on both sides

7x = -56

x=-8

so the first option

Brandi solved 16 / 5 by using a related multiplication expression. What multiplication expression did she is?

klemol [59]

The given question is wrong.

Question:

Brandi solved $\frac{1}{6}\div 5$ by using a related multiplication expression. What multiplication expression did she is?

Answer:

The related multiplication expression is $$\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{5}$ .

Solution:

Given expression is $\frac{1}{6}\div 5$ .

We can write 5 as a fraction with denominator 1.

$$ \frac{1}{6}\div5=\frac{1}{6}\div \frac{5}{1}$

Using the fraction rule $$\frac{a}{b}\div \frac{c}{d}=\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{d}{c}$ ,

$$\frac{1}{6}\div \frac{5}{1}=\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{5}$

Now multiply the fractions using the rule $$\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{d}{c}=\frac{a\times d}{b\times c}$ ,

$$\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{5}=\frac{1\times1}{6\times5}$

Let us multiply the numbers in the numerator and denominator separately, we get

$$\frac{1\times1}{6\times5}=\frac{1}{30}$

Hence the related multiplication expression is $$\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{5}$ .
