You should subtract 5 from both sides next.

Adding 2x to both side will give you the following.

5 + 5x = 9

And since you got all the variable terms to the left, you want all the constant terms to the right. You do that by subtracting 5 from both sides. This gives you the below statement.

5x = 4

You can then divide to solve.

x = 4/5 or .8

Courtlynn combines 7/8 cup sour cream with 1/2 cup cream cheese. She then divides the mixture between 2 bowls. How much mixture

STALIN [3.7K]

$\frac{11}{4}$ this is because when you add $\frac{7}{8}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ you get $\frac{11}{8}$ which you'd then divide like this

$( \frac{11}{1} ) ( \frac{2}{8})
=( \frac{11}{1} ) ( \frac{1}{4})
= \frac{11}{4}$

If you wanted to simplify that it would be $2 \frac{3}{4}$

How to find an angle of a triangle with one missing side

Rashid [163]

If you have the two other angle measures:
You can add the angles together and subtract them from 180.
Example:
Angle 1: 90
Angle 2: 45
Angle 3: ?
90 + 45 = 135
180 - 135 = 45
Angle 3 is 45 degrees.
This is because all three angles of a triangle need to be equal to 180 when added up.
