Solve the equation shown for x. 2/3 x -4 1/2 = -8

X = - 21/4

2/3x - 4 1/2 = - 8
2/3x = - 8 + 4 1/2

- 8 + 4 = - 4. Then do - 4 + 1/2 = - 3 1/2

2/3x = - 3 1/2

- 3 1/2 is the same as = - 7/2

2/3x = - 7/2

Flip the coefficient on the variable and multiply both sides by it.

(3/2)(2/3)x = - 7/2(3/2)

x = - 7/2(3/2)

x = - 21/4

What is the equation of line l?

inessss [21]

Y=-3/2L -2. At the Y axis, line L is at -2, so we add that as B or the Y intercept. We can see that the graph goes 2 over to the right and down three, which makes the slope negative and 3/2 (rise/run)

Can someone answer these questions ? thank you

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12a)To rationalize the denominator, multiply the denominator and numerator by √5.

$\frac{15}{\sqrt{5}}=\frac{15*\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}*\sqrt{5}}\\\\=\frac{15\sqrt{5}}{5}\\\\=3\sqrt{5}$

b) (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

(1 +√3)² = 1² + 2*1*√3 + (√3)²

= 1 + 2√3 + 3

= 4 + 2√3

a = 4 ; b =2

13) (a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²

$\frac{(6-\sqrt{5})(6+\sqrt{5})}{\sqrt{31}}=\frac{6^{2}-(\sqrt{5})^{2}}{\sqrt{31}}\\\\ =\frac{36-5}{\sqrt{31}}\\\\=\frac{31}{\sqrt{31}}\\\\=\frac{31*\sqrt{31}}{\sqrt{31}*\sqrt{31}}\\\\=\frac{31\sqrt{31}}{31}\\\\=\sqrt{31}$

Gabbys age is two times mikhails age.the sum of their ages is 75. What is mikhails age

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Mikhail's age is 25 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make an equation: Say Mikhail is x, so Gabby would be 2*x=2x

If the sum of their ages equals 75, then x+2x=75, and x=2x=3x, so 3x=75.

75/3=25
