What is the solution to the equation 1/4x+2=-5/8x-5

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by multiplying both sides by 4.

\frac{1}{4} x+2=-\frac{5}{8} x-5\\x+8=-\frac{5}{2} x-20

Next, multiply both sides by 2.

x+8=-\frac{5}{2} x-20\\2x+16=-5x-40

Now, combine like terms.

2x+16=-5x-40\\7x+16=-40\\7x=-56\\x=-8

Grant has 2 over 3 cup of ice cream in a bowl. He then removes two 1 over 6 cups of ice cream to share with his little brother.
Volgvan
It would be the second answer. He starts with 2/3 cup, then take out 2 1/6 cup amounts, which make 2/6 cup. Since he's taking it out, you would subtract it from the original value. So you would get 2/3 cup minus 2/6 cup and to make the denominators equal you would multiply 2/3 cup by 2, so you would have 4/6 cup minus 2/6 cup which equals 2/6 cup.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 4 feet
zaharov [31]

Answer:

514 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Just simply use the pythagorean thereom:

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

put in the values of a, b, and c with the side lengths of the triangle:

x feet, 64 feet, and x+4 feet

x^2 +64^2 = (x+4)^2 , thus x =510

the hypotenuse = x+4 feet = 510 + 4 = 514

ANSWER: 514 feet
