Answer:

  x = 2/3 = 0.667

Step-by-step explanation:

                 x = 2/3 = 0.667

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    x+1/6-(5/6)=0  

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

           5

Simplify   —

           6

Equation at the end of step  1  :

       1     5

 (x +  —) -  —  = 0  

       6     6

Step  2  :

           1

Simplify   —

           6

Equation at the end of step  2  :

       1     5

 (x +  —) -  —  = 0  

       6     6

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  6  as the denominator :

         x     x • 6

    x =  —  =  —————

         1       6  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x • 6 + 1     6x + 1

—————————  =  ——————

    6           6    

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 (6x + 1)    5

 ———————— -  —  = 0  

    6        6

Step  4  :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

4.1       Adding fractions which have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(6x+1) - (5)     6x - 4

————————————  =  ——————

     6             6    

Step  5  :

Pulling out like terms :

5.1     Pull out like factors :

  6x - 4  =   2 • (3x - 2)  

Equation at the end of step  5  :

 2 • (3x - 2)

 ————————————  = 0  

      6      

Step  6  :

When a fraction equals zero :

6.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 2•(3x-2)

 ———————— • 6 = 0 • 6

    6    

Now, on the left hand side, the  6  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  2  •  (3x-2)  = 0

Equations which are never true :

6.2      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

6.3      Solve  :    3x-2 = 0  

Add  2  to both sides of the equation :  

                     3x = 2

Divide both sides of the equation by 3:

                    x = 2/3 = 0.667

Tema [17]

Answer:

4 cm and 7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Juanita is cutting a piece of construction paper in the shape of a parallelogram. Two opposite sides of the parallelogram have lengths (5n − 6) cm and (3n − 2) cm.

We know that opposite sides are equal in a parallelogram.

Hence we have

5n-6 = 3n-2\\2n =4\\n=2

Hence the side length = 5(2)-6 =4 cm

The adjacent side = 2n+3\\=2(2)+3\\=7cm

Thus answer is 4 cm and 7 cm

7/6π" (or 1.17π"). To find the circumference (therefore the distance the hand travels) you do 2rπ (radius is 7in), which is 14π, then divide it by 12 bc the hand is only moving five minutes (which is simplified to 7/6π). You can't simplify π.

A line's y-intercept is 3, and its slope is 1.
8090 [49]

Answer:

Standard form for straight line

y = m x + b

If x = 0 then y = b = 3

y = m x + 3

Since m is the slope the requested equation is y = x + 3
