five eighths means 5/8

negative five eighths means -5/8

one half means 1/2

so 1/2 of negative five eighths means multiply 1/2 with -5/8

$\frac{1}{2} * \frac{-5}{8}$

multiplying numerators together and denominators together,

$\frac{1*(-5)}{2*8}$

So answer is -5/16

FInding the length of EB

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

EB=3.3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, triangle ABC is similar to triangle DBE.

This means that, the corresponding sides are proportional.

It was given that AC=6, DE=4, CB=5.

We want to find EB=x

Since the ratio of corresponding sides are proportional, we have:

$\frac{EB}{CB} =\frac{ED}{AC}$

We substitute to obtain:

$\frac{x}{5} =\frac{4}{6}$

Multiply both sides by 5 to get:

$x=\frac{4}{6}\times 5=\frac{20}{6}=\frac{10}{3}=3.3$

10 - |3n - 2| = -9<br><br>please help :D

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

n =7 or n = -17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

10 - |3n - 2| = -9 (subtract 10 from both sides)

- |3n - 2| = -9 - 10

- |3n - 2| = -19 (multiply both sides by -1)

|3n - 2| = 19

(3n - 2) = 19 or (3n - 2) = -19

For (3n - 2) = 19,

3n - 2 = 19

3n = 21

n =7 (answer)

For (3n - 2) = -19,

3n - 2 = -19

3n = -17

n = -17/3 (answer)
