Solving the expression $\frac{5}{6}x-\frac{5}{3}=9$ we get value of x: $x=\frac{64}{5}$ or $x=12.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation $\frac{5}{6}x-\frac{5}{3}=9$ and find value of x

Solving:

$\frac{5}{6}x-\frac{5}{3}=9$

Adding 5/3 on both sides

$\frac{5}{6}x-\frac{5}{3}+\frac{5}{3}=9+\frac{5}{3}$

$\frac{5}{6}x=9+\frac{5}{3}$

Simplifying:

$\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{9*3+5}{3}$

$\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{27+5}{3}$

$\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{32}{3}$

Multiply 6/5 on both sides:

$x=\frac{32}{3}*\frac{6}{5}$

$x=\frac{32*2}{5}$

$x=\frac{64}{5}$

$x=12.8$

So, solving the expression $\frac{5}{6}x-\frac{5}{3}=9$ we get value of x: $x=\frac{64}{5}$ or $x=12.8$

Find the real and/or imaginary solutions by factoring

Here is number 7:
${x}^{2} - 11x = - 24 \\ {x}^{2} - 11x + 24 = 0 \\ (x - 3)(x - 8) = 0 \\ x = 3 \: and \: 8$
Here is number 8:

$3 {x}^{3} + 3 {x}^{2} = 27x \\ 3 {x}^{3} + 3 {x}^{2} - 27x = 0 \\ 3x( {x }^{2} + x - 9) = 0 \\ x = 0 \: and \: two \: more \: solutions \: shown \: below.$
Use the quadratic formula to find the other two solutions:

$x = \frac{ - 1 + - \sqrt{ {1}^{2} - 4(1)( - 9) } }{2(1)} \\ x = \frac{ - 1 + \sqrt{37} }{2} \\ x = \frac{ - 1 - \sqrt{37} }{2}$

8x + 4 = 3 (X - 1) + 7

Igoryamba

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 4 = 3x - 3 +7

u first expand the bracket as I have done above

then u evaluate those who have like terms close like -3 + 7

8x + 4 = 3x + 4

then u group like terms ie. the values with the variable x on one side of the equation and the ones without x on the other side of the equation

8x - 3x = 4 - 4

8x - 3x = 0

5x = 0

then u divide both side by the coefficient of x

0/5 but any number divided by 0 is 0, so x = 0

If an instrument measures in units of 10, then any value between which two values would be measured as 80?

enyata [817]

Answer:

The answer is 75 and 85.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the instrument measures in units of 10, then the measurement could be 5 units on either side of 80 (80 − 5 = 75, 80 + 5 = 85). Any value between 75 and 85 would be measured as 80.
