Answer: the correct option is

(a) If x – 5 ≠ 10, then 4x + 1 ≠ 61.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the correct inverse of the conditional statement p → q if

p : x – 5 =10 and q : 4x + 1 = 61.

We know that

the inverse of a conditional statement p → q is given by "not p → not q".

Therefore, the inverse of the given statement is

not p → not q

that is, if x – 5 ≠ 10, then 4x + 1 ≠ 61.

Thus, the required inverse is " x – 5 ≠ 10, then 4x + 1 ≠ 61."

Option (a) is CORRECT.

10. Infinitely many solutions:

$2(x-1)+6x=4(?-1)+2.$

Simplify this equation:

$2x-2+6x=4\cdot ?-4+2,\\ \\8x-2=4\cdot ? -2,\\ \\8x=4\cdot ?$

When $?=2x,$ the equation becomes

$8x=8x \text{ or } 0=0.$

This equality is true for all x, thus the equation has infinitely many solutions.

11. The equation $5x-(x-2)=2x-(?)$ should have one solution x=-1.

First, simplify the equation:

$5x-x+2=2x-?,\\ \\4x+2=2x-?,\\ \\2x+2=-?,\\ \\?=-2x-2.$

This equation will have solution x=-1 when

$?=-2\cdot (-1)-2=2-2=0.$

Therefore, the initial equation is

$5x-(x-2)=2x.$

12. The equation $-(x-8)+4x=2\cdot ?+x$ should have infinitely many solutions.

Simplify it:

$-x+8+4x=2\cdot ?+x,\\ \\2x+8=2\cdot ?,\\ \\2(x+4)=2\cdot ?.$

When $?=x+4,$ this equation will have infinitely many solutions.

Convert 5 whole number and 7 over 8 into an improper fraction

Len [333]

Answer: 47/8

Step-by-step explanation: To write a mixed number as an improper fraction, first multiply the denominator by the whole number and then add the numerator. Finally, we will put our new number over our old denominator and we have our answer which is 47/8.

Therefore, $5\frac{7}{8}$ can be rewritten as the improper fraction 47/8.
