How do I solve this equation: -5/6b + 3/4 = 1/2b - 2/3 ?

Mathematics

First get like things on the same side:
-5/6b - 1/2b= -2/3 - 3/4

Then find equivalent fractions to make the equation easier to solve.
-5/6b - 3/6b= -8/12 - 9/12

Then just add things together and solve.
-8/6b= -17/12
-8b= 6(-17/12)
-8b= -17/2
b= (-17/2)/-8
b= 17/16

You can then plug the answer back into the original question to make sure it is the correct answer.

How to calulate how high a tree that is 5m high and shadow is 4m?
Deffense [45]
If you are trying to figure out the distance between the top of the tree and the end of the shadow, use a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs of the right triangle.
5^2 + 4^2 = c^2
25 + 16 = c^2
41 = c^2
c = √41 = 6.4 meters

For the equation --4y = 8x, what is the constant of variation?
larisa86 [58]

Answer: 1) B is correct, constant of variation is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Direct variation states that a relationship between the two variables. we say y varies directly as x

i.e,  or y =kx.................[1] ;  where k is the constant of variation.

Given the equation:

Divide both sides by -4 we get;

Simplify:

            .......[2]

On comparing equation [2] with [1] we get;

k = -2
