First you would subtract 5x/8 from both sides so that you isolate x. to do that, find the common denominator of both fractions (15x/24 and 16x/24) and then subtract into get 1x/24. from there, you would multiply both sides by the reciprocal, or 24, to isolate x. that would be -8(24) = x, which is -192. therefore, x = -192.

i don’t know if this is right or not, but i hope it helped somehow!

For this case we must solve the following expression:

\frac {5x} {8} -8 = \frac {2x} {3}

Subtracting \frac {2x} {3} from both sides of the equation:

\frac {5x} {8} - \frac {2x} {3} -8 = 0

Adding 8 to both sides of the equation:

\frac {5x} {8} - \frac {2x} {3} = 8\\\frac {3 * 5x-8 * 2x} {8 * 3} = 8\\\frac {15x-16x} {24} = 8\\15x-16x = 24 * 8\\-x = 192\\x = -192

Answer:

x = -192

KiRa [710]
678 is what you have left but if you would put it as a fraction  of what you have left now it would be 678/1012... which then take and put it as a decimal which is a form of a mixed number = .6699

How many hours of sleep do you get each night? Is this a statistical question
noname [10]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a statistical question because a statistical question is a question that can be answered by collecting data that vary. The question that you provided would have different answers from different people.

Another example of a statistical question could be: "How old are the students at my school?" This would be statistical because once again, the ages will vary from different people.

Convert to quarts: 10 pints
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Pints and Quarts are measures of volume. The relationship between them is rather simple.

We know 2 pints = 1 Quart

The problem gives us the number of pints and we need to find the number of quarts. From the relationship, we see that "pints divided by 2 will give us quarts"

Given >> 10 pints

Hence, number of quarts would be 10/2 = 5

Hence 10 pints = 5 quarts

Answer choice B is right.
