5-a/8=4/7 solve for a show your work

Mathematics
1 answer:
timama [110]3 years ago
6 0
Subtract 5 from both sides
a/-8 = 4/7 - 5

simplify 4/7 - 5 to 31/-7
a/-8 = 31/-7

multiply both sides by 8 
-a = 31/-7 x 8

simplify 31/7 x 8 to 248/7
-a = 248/7

multiply both sides by -1.
The answer is a = 248/7

The words are the explanations of the steps and the dark bolded words are the work shown for each step.

A. 12 <br> b. 14<br> c. 8<br> d. 6
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

  d.  6

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of lengths to the near and far intersection points is the same for both secants:

  PB×PA = PD×PC

We can use this relation to solve for x, then use the value of x to find PD.

  7×12 = (3x)(7x)

  4 = x² . . . . . . . . . divide by 21

  2 = x . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

__

  PD = 3x = 3·2

  PD = 6
