Simplify: -(16 - 5x) 5×-16/ 5× + 16 / -5×-16/ -5 + 16​
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

(16 (1280 x - 4071))/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

16 - (-16 (-16)×5×16 (16 - 5 x))/(5 (-5) (-5))

Hint: | Express 16/(-5)×(-16)/(-5) as a single fraction.

16/(-5)×(-16)/(-5) = (16 (-16))/(-5 (-5)):

-(-16×5×(-16×16)/(-5 (-5)) (16 - 5 x))/5 + 16

Hint: | Express 5×(-16)/5×(16 (-16))/(-5 (-5)) as a single fraction.

5×(-16)/5×(16 (-16))/(-5 (-5)) = (16 (-16) 5 (-16))/(-5 (-5) 5):

16 - (-16 (-16) 16×5)/(-5 (-5) 5) (16 - 5 x)

Hint: | Multiply 16 and -16 together.

16 (-16) = -256:

-(-16-256×5 (16 - 5 x))/(-5 (-5) 5) + 16

Hint: | Multiply -256 and 5 together.

-256×5 = -1280:

-(-16-1280 (16 - 5 x))/(-5 (-5) 5) + 16

Hint: | Multiply -1280 and -16 together.

-1280 (-16) = 20480:

16 - (20480 (16 - 5 x))/(-5 (-5) 5)

Hint: | In 20480/(-5 (-5) 5), divide 20480 in the numerator by 5 in the denominator.

16 - (4096 (16 - 5 x))/(-5 (-5))

Hint: | Multiply -5 and -5 together.

-5 (-5) = 25:

16 - (4096 (16 - 5 x))/25

Hint: | Put the fractions in 16 - ((16 - 5 x)×4096)/25 over a common denominator.

Put each term in 16 - ((16 - 5 x)×4096)/25 over the common denominator 25: 16 - ((16 - 5 x)×4096)/25 = 400/25 - (4096 (16 - 5 x))/25:

400/25 - (4096 (16 - 5 x))/25

Hint: | Combine 400/25 - (4096 (16 - 5 x))/25 into a single fraction.

400/25 - (4096 (16 - 5 x))/25 = (400 - 4096 (16 - 5 x))/25:

(400 - 4096 (16 - 5 x))/25

Hint: | Distribute -4096 over 16 - 5 x.

-4096 (16 - 5 x) = 20480 x - 65536:

(20480 x - 65536 + 400)/25

Hint: | Group like terms in 20480 x - 65536 + 400.

Grouping like terms, 20480 x - 65536 + 400 = 20480 x + (400 - 65536):

(20480 x + (400 - 65536))/25

Hint: | Evaluate 400 - 65536.

400 - 65536 = -65136:

(20480 x + -65136)/25

Hint: | Factor out the greatest common divisor of the coefficients of 20480 x - 65136.

Factor 16 out of 20480 x - 65136:

Answer: (16 (1280 x - 4071))/25

Solve this equation.
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

D: 6 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for a:

a + 7/6 = 8

Put each term in a + 7/6 over the common denominator 6: a + 7/6 = (6 a)/6 + 7/6:

(6 a)/6 + 7/6 = 8

(6 a)/6 + 7/6 = (6 a + 7)/6:

(6 a + 7)/6 = 8

Multiply both sides of (6 a + 7)/6 = 8 by 6:

(6 (6 a + 7))/6 = 6×8

(6 (6 a + 7))/6 = 6/6×(6 a + 7) = 6 a + 7:

6 a + 7 = 6×8

6×8 = 48:

6 a + 7 = 48

Subtract 7 from both sides:

6 a + (7 - 7) = 48 - 7

7 - 7 = 0:

6 a = 48 - 7

48 - 7 = 41:

6 a = 41

Divide both sides of 6 a = 41 by 6:

(6 a)/6 = 41/6

6/6 = 1:

Answer:  a = 41/6 or a= 6 5/6
