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

Tracy had a bag of candies, and none of the candies could be broken into pieces. She ate $\frac{1}{3}$ of them and then gave $\f
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of candies = n

Tracy ate = 1/3 of n = n/3 remaining 2n / 3

she gave 1/4 of the remainder to her friend = 1/4 of ( n - n/3) = 2n / 12

the new remainder = (2n / 3) - (2n / 12) = n /2

she and her mom then ate altogether = 30

and the brother took from 1 to five, the number he took = x

and she has 3 left

( n/2) - 30 - x = 3

n = 2 ( 33 + x)

now we know that the candies could not be broken  and x is between 1 to 5

n = 2 (33 + 1), 2 (33+2), 2(33 +3), 2 (33+ 4) and 2 (33 + 5) this are the possible values of n, ( 68, 70, 72, 74, 76) and the multiple of 3 is 72

n therefore = 72

Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of 101.3 and a standard deviation 19.9. Find the fir
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

87.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a calculator or table to find the z-score that corresponds to 25%.

P(Z < z) = 0.25

z = -0.675

Now find the value that corresponds to that z score.

z = (x − μ) / σ

-0.675 = (x − 101.3) / 19.9

x = 87.9
