-9/4v + 4/5 = 7/8; First, you subtract 4/5 from each side to have variable v on a side and numbers on the other: -9/4v = 7/8 - 4/5; -9/4v = 35/40 - 32/40; -9/4v = 3/40; Then you divide each side to get the variable v alone on a side, and one number on the other: V= (3/40) / (-9/4); Dividing to fractions is equal to multiplying the first one by the inverse of the second: V= (3/40) * (-4/9); V= -12/360; V= -1/30; You can re-check your answer (very important): (-9/4)*(-1/30)+4/5=7/8; The answer has been approved. Hope this helps! :)

4 less than half a number is equal to 2 more than the number

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

$-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let that number be $x$ . We can build an equation, and solve for $x$ .

$4$ less than half of $x$ is $x/2-4$ .

$2$ more than $x$ is $x+2$ .

We are given that the two quantities are equal, so we have that $x/2-4=x+2$ .

Adding $4$ to both sides gives $x/2=x+6$ .

Multiplying both sides by $2$ gives $x=2(x+6)=2x+12$ .

Subtracting $2x$ from both sides gives $-x=12$ .

Multiplying both sides by $-1$ gives $x=-12$ .

So, the number is $\boxed{-12}$ and we're done!

The check is left as an exercise to the reader.

Find the values of x and y leave answers in simplest radical form. *The altitude is:

$x = \sqrt{ { \sqrt{18} }^{2} + {2}^{2} } = \sqrt{18 + 4} = \sqrt{22} \\ y = \sqrt{ { \sqrt{18} }^{2} + {9}^{2} } = \sqrt{18 + 81} = \sqrt{99} = 3\sqrt{11}$
