You can use cross-products to solve this problem. For instance, this expression would be written as 5(8)= 7(-x), or 40= -7x. What you'd do then is simplify the expression by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x, such that you'd isolate x and have the value of x.

5/7 = -x/8

First: What you would do is cross multiply. You would multiply 7 and -x, then 8 and 5.
Your equation should then look like: 40= -7x
Next: You would divide each side by -7 so you can get your x alone.
You would get: x= -5.71... < That would be your answer

HOPE THIS HELPS! ^_^

Rick is on a bicycle trip. Every 444 days he bikes 230 \text{ km}230 km230, space, k, m.If Rick keeps this same pace for 161616

Katarina [22]

For this problem, we use the approach of ratio and proportion. Assuming that the given ratio of 444 days per 230 km is constant all throughout, we can determine the number of days or distance as long as one of the two is given. In this case, the solution is as follows:

444 days/230 km = 161616 days/distance
Distance = 83,720 km

Answer(s):

Exact Form: x + 2 y − 3 z = 15 , 2 x − 2 z = 6 , 3 2 3

Mixed Number Form: x + 2 y − 3 z = 15 , 2 x − 2 z = 6 , 3 2 3

Improper Fraction Form: x + 2 y − 3 z = 15 , 2 x − 2 z = 6 , 11 3

Decimal Form: x + 2 y − 3 z = 15 , 2 x − 2 z = 6 , 3. ¯ 6

Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D
