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

Mathematics
1 answer:
irina1246 [14]3 years ago
5 0

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)

iren [92.7K]
68.24 average books per day
7 days in one week

Multiply number of days in one week with average number of books per day.

x= average # of books per week

x= 7 days/week * 68.24 books/day
x= 477.68 average books a week

ANSWER: The average number of books lent to readers in a week is 477.68.

Hope this helps! :)

Imagine that yourfriend missed the lesson on how to solve a system of equations using the substitution method. You want to help
Lana71 [14]
A system of equations is a collection of two or more equations with the same variables. When solving this system, u need to find the unknown variables. One way of solving a system of equations is by substitution. 

example :

2x + 2y = 6 (equation 1)
3x + y = 4 (equation 2)

we need to pick a variable and isolate it. The easiest one to pick since it is already by itself is the y in the second equation.
3x + y = 4.....subtract 3x from both sides
y = -3x + 4

now we can sub -3x + 4 in for y in the 1st equation...u have to make sure u sub it back into the 1st equation and not the same equation u used to find it.

2x + 2y = 6.....sub in -3x + 4 in for y and solve for x
2x + 2(-3x + 4) = 6...distribute thru the parenthesis
2x - 6x + 8 = 6...subtract 12 from both sides
2x - 6x = 6 - 8...simplify
-4x = -2...divide both sides by -4
x = -2/-4
x = 1/2

now that we have a numerical number for x, u can sub this back into either of ur equations to find a numerical answer for y.

y = -3x + 4...when x = 1/2
y = -3(1/2) + 4
y = -3/2 + 4
y = -3/2 + 8/2
y = 5/2

so ur solution is : (1/2,5/2) <===

and u can check ur answers by subbing them into ur equations to see if they satisfy both equations...because for it to be a solution to this system, it has to satisfy both equations and not just one of them
