For example, 1/2 in not an equivalent ratio
1. Cross multiply
35x = 5(11)
35x = 55
Divide both sides by 35
x = 55/35
x = 11/7
2. (x - 2)/x = 3/8
Cross multiply
3x = 8(x - 2)
3x = 8x - 16
Subtract 8x from both sides
-5x = -16
divide both sides by -5
x = -16/-5
x = 16/5 OR 3 1/5
3. (a + 1)/(a - 1) = 5/6
cross multiply
6(a + 1) = 5(a - 1)
distribute
6a + 6 = 5a - 5
subtract 5a from both sides
a + 6 = -5
subtract 6 from both sides
a = -11
4. (1/3)x - 4 = (2/3)x + 6
multiply each term by 3 to clear the fractions
x - 12 = 2x + 18
subtract x from both sides
-12 = x + 18
subtract 18 from both sides
-30 = x
First step:
simplify the values in the parenthesis:
-4(3+11v)
Second step:
apply the distributive property:
-12-44v
The final answer (simplified) is -44v-12
Answer:
−8^4+2^3−4^2+6
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the - to 8x^4-5x^3+6x^2-2x:
-8x^4+5x^3-6x^2+2x
Now simplify:
-3x^3+2x^2+4x-8x^4+5x^3-6x^2+2x= −8^4+2^3−4^2+6
Hope this helps!
9 years because if you do 4700 * 1.03= 4831 now do that 9 times you get 6,132.43
