Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2 = 8

get rid of 2 to get x by itself on the left side

5x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2 (whatever u do to one side do to the other)

5x = 10

divide to get 1x (divide both sides by 5)

x = 10

What is the best estimate for the sum of fractions 5//6 and 5/8
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The answer is 25/24 or 1.041

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 5/6 and 5/8, you can't find the sum at that point. This means we will have to find a common denominator, which will be 24.

6 x 4 = 24 and 8 x 3 = 24

Doing this, you will have to multiply the numerator and denominator by the value the denominator needs to be multiplied by to get 24.

5/6 x 4/4 = 20/24 and 5/8 x 3/3 = 15/24

After getting these values, you can then add them.

20/24 + 15/24 = 25/24 or 1.041

The owner of an office building is expanding the length and width of a parking lot by the same amount. The lot currently measure
Gnoma [55]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the second choice or letter B "20".

The current area is 120(80)=9600 and he want to expand it by 4400 so that the new area will be 9600+4400=14000 

14000=(120+x)(80+x) 

14000=9600+200x+x^2 

x^2+200x-4400=0 

x^2-20x+220x-4400=0 

x(x-20)+220(x-20)=0 

(x+220)(x-20)=0, since x is an increase it must be greater than zero so 

x=20ft 

(120+20)(80+20)=14000ft^2


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

Liula [17]

Answer:

1. d 2. d 3. a

Step-by-step explanation:

1. factor

((w-4)(w-6))/((w-5)(w-6))+8/(w-5)

solve

(w-4)/(w-5)+8/(w-5)

(w+4)/(w-5), so d

2.factor

((b+2)(b-4))((b+2)(b-1))-6/(b-1)

solve

(b-4)/(b-1)-6(b-1)

(b-10)/(b-1), so d

3. (2/5t-3/3t)/(1/2t+1/2t)

(2/5t-1/t)/(2/2t)

(2/5t-1/t)/(1/t)

t(2/5t-1/t)

2/5-1=-3/5, so a
