Solve for x. -1/2 (x+5)=2x -3/2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Start from

-\dfrac{1}{2}(x+5)=2x -\dfrac{3}{2}

It may be useful to multiply the whole expression by 2, in order to get rid of denominators:

-(x+5)=4x -3

Distribute the negative sign in the left hand side:

-x-5=4x -3

Move all terms involving x to the left, and all constants to the right:

-x-4x=-3+5

Sum like terms:

-5x=2

DIvide both sides -5:

x = -\dfrac{2}{5}

The area of a square is represented by the expression 16x^4y^8. What is the length of each side of this square
Leona [35]

Answer: 4x^2y^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The area of the square is A=16x^4y^8

Suppose a is the side length of the square

The area of the square is given by

\Rightarrow A=(\text{side length})^2

So, we can write

\Rightarrow a^2=16x^4y^8\\\Rightarrow a=4x^2y^4

length of each side is 4x^2y^4

We need to find the additive inverse of the given numbers.

  • For finding it we may simply out -1 as multiplication in front of the terms .

<u>SOLUTION</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

→ 3/-7 - 11/21

→ -3/7 -11/21

→ 3×-3 - 11 /21

→ -9-11/21

→ -20/21

<u>SOLUTION</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>
