Answer: x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

First you change 1/4 to 2/8. Then you want to get all of your x values on one side. So, +5/8x to each side turning your equation into 7/8x+2= -5. Then -2 from each side. 7/8x= -7. Finally get your variable by itself. Divide each side by 7/8 or multiple each side by its reciprocal (8/7)

Given the following sets.

svet-max [94.6K]

It looks like the ∩ sign may be missing from the question. If you mean to find A∩C, called the intersection, you're looking for elements that are both in A and C.

{0, 2} qualifies.
