addition since inverse means opposite

To isolate p in this equation you have to add 20 to both sides, since addition is the inverse operation of subtraction and vise versa. Adding 20 to both sides will cancel it out of the left side since -20 + 20 = 0.

Hope this helped!

5/8 = x/32

8 x 4 = 32

5 x 4 = 20

5/8 = 20/32

x = 20

Simplify and determine the coefficient of (-2/3x)(3y)(-2x).

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

$4x^{2}y$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(-2/3)(3)(-2)=4$

so the coefficient is 4

$(x)(x) =xx^{2}$

When we multiply 2 same variable we add their power

$(x^{2})(y)=x^{2}y$

So the last answer is $4x^{2} y$

What is the quotient? StartFraction 3 y 2 Over 3 y EndFraction divided by StartFraction 6 y squared 4 y Over 3 y 2 EndFraction S

Dima020 [189]

The quotient of the expression is $\frac{1}{2y}$

The expression is given as:

$\frac{3y^2}{3y} \div \frac{6y^4}{3y^2}$

Divide 3y^2 by 3y

$\frac{3y^2}{3y} \div \frac{6y^4}{3y^2} = y \div \frac{6y^4}{3y^2}$

Rewrite the equation as a product

$\frac{3y^2}{3y} \div \frac{6y^4}{3y^2} = y \times \frac{3y^2}{6y^4}$

Divide 6 by 3

$\frac{3y^2}{3y} \div \frac{6y^4}{3y^2} = y \times \frac{y^2}{2y^4}$

Multiply y and y^2

$\frac{3y^2}{3y} \div \frac{6y^4}{3y^2} = \frac{y^3}{2y^4}$

Divide y^3 by y^4

$\frac{3y^2}{3y} \div \frac{6y^4}{3y^2} = \frac{1}{2y}$

Hence, the quotient of the expression is $\frac{1}{2y}$
