Basically you know that the 2 wholes from both sides cancel out.
Set up the equation, 5/8 = 3/12 + 3/x
3/x = 5/8 - 3/12
Set them to have a common denominator, 3/x = 15/24 - 6/24
3/x = 9/24
Simplify 9/24 and you will get 3/8
3/x = 3/8
Obviously this means x = 8

-1 -1 -3 123456
Step-by-step explanation:
He equation of a parabola is x = -4(y-1)^2. What is the equation of the directrix?
<span>You may write the equation as </span>
<span>(y-1)^2 = (1) (x+4) </span>
<span>(y-k)^2 = 4p(x-h), where (h,k) is the vertex </span>
<span>4p=1 </span>
<span>p=1/4 </span>
<span>k=1 </span>
<span>h=-4 </span>
<span>The directrix is a vertical line x= h-p </span>
<span>x = -4-1/4 </span>
<span>x=-17/4 </span>
<span>------------------------------- </span>
<span>What is the focal length of the parabola with equation y - 4 = 1/8x^2 </span>
<span>(x-0)^2 = 8(y-4) </span>
<span>The vertex is (0,4) </span>
<span>4p=8 </span>
<span>p=2 (focal length) -- distance between vertex and the focus </span>
<span>------------------------------- </span>
<span>(y-0)^2 = (4/3) (x-7) </span>
<span>vertex = (7,0) </span>
<span>4p=4/3 </span>
<span>p=1/3 </span>
<span>focus : (h+p,k) </span>
<span>(7+1/3, 0)</span>
