Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
(1)
10(1+3x)=-20
Cross multiply.
10+30x=-20
Isolate x on one side. So you would subtract 10 on each side. and one side will cross each other out. leaving you with,
30x=-20-10
Subtract 10 from -20.
30x=-30
Divide each side by 30 to get x.
30x÷30=-30÷30
Therefore,
x=-1
(2)
-5x-8(1+7x)=-8
Cross multiply -8(1+7x)
-5x-8-56x=-8
Isolate all x's on one side. So you would add 8 on each side. and one side will cross each other out. leaving you with,
-5x-56x=-8+8
Add 8 to -8.
-5x-56x=0
Subtract -56x from -5x
-61x=0
Divide each side by -61
-61x÷-61=0÷-61
Therefore,
x=0
Answer:
5/6 is greater
Step-by-step explanation:
First obtain a common denominator for the fractions. Multiply the denominator of one fraction to the denominator of another and that is the denominator for the new fractions (54). Then multiply the denominator of one fraction to the numerator of the other one to obtain the new numerator. (e.g. 5*9=45 so 5/6 ->45/54) do this to the other fraction and you will see that 7/9 -> 42/54 and 45/54 is greater than 42/54 so 5/6 is greater .
