Solve for x: 3/4x+5/8=4x

So, you have 3/4x + 5/8 = 4x. We can do this in two ways. Since fractions are harder to deal with, we can turn the fractions into whole numbers.

First we need to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) between 4 and 8, which is 8. So multiply the 3/4x by 2/2, which gives you an equivalent fraction of 6/8x.

So now we have 6/8x + 5/8 = 4x. Now multiply both sides by 8, to get rid of the denominators of the fractions. That gives us 6x + 5 = 32x. Now use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 6x from both sides giving us 5 = 26x. 

Now you can use the division property of equality to divide 26 on both sides, which gives us x = 5/26.

Hope this helps. :D Feel free to ask any other questions, and if you have any questions about my explanation, don't hesitate to ask.

The graph of a system of equations shows the solution to be at (-6, 2). Which two of the following equations could
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows the solution (-6,2)

i.e at x= -6 y=2

Analysis of each of the answers, since we can't write the equation of a straight line with only that information i.e the single point

Then,

Option 1

1. 2x - 3y = -6

x= -6 y=2

Then let insert x=-6 and y =2

2(-6)-3(2)

-12-6

-18.

Since -18 ≠ -6, then this is not the equation of the line and doesn't make up the system

Option 2

2. 4x - y = 26

Inserting x=-6 and y=2

4(-6)-(2)

-24-2

-26

Since -26 ≠ 26, then this is not the equation of the line and doesn't make up the system

Option 3

3. 3x + 2y = -14

Inserting x=-6 and y=2

3(-6)+2(2)

-18+4

-14

Since -14 ≠ -14 then this is the equation of the line and it make up the system.

Option 4

x-y = -2

Inserting x=-6 and y=2

(-6)-(2)

-6-2

-8

Since -8≠ -2, then this is not the equation of the line and doesn't make up the system

Option 5

5. x+y=-4

Inserting x=-6 and y=2

(-6)+(2)

-6+2

-4

Since -4 ≠ -4, then this is the equation of the line and it makes up the system.

Then, there are two option that make up the system

3. 3x + 2y = -14

And

5. x+y=-4
