*To solve inequalities is similar to solving equations: isolate the desired variable to one side.

So firstly, distribute -8 to (p + 1):

$5p-8p-8>16$

Next, combine like terms:

$-3p-8>16$

Next, add 8 to both sides:

$-3p>24$

Lastly, divide both sides by -3. Now since you are dividing by a negative, you will be flipping the inequality symbol as well. Your final answer will be $p$

$\frac{8}{2z}=\frac{15}{60}\ \ \ \ \ |cross\ multiply\\\\2z\cdot15=8\cdot60\\\\30z=480\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 30\\\\\boxed{z=16}$

What is 8/15 plus 2/5 equal to

anastassius [24]

We have to add 8/15 to 2/5.

To add two fractions we have to make them have the same denominator, so we have to convert 2/5 to have a denominator of 15. To do this, we have to multiply 2/5 by 3 and then we can add the fractions:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{15}+\frac{2}{5} \\ \frac{8}{15}+\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{3}{3} \\ \frac{8}{15}+\frac{6}{15} \\ \frac{14}{15} \end{gathered}$

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (8,2) and (10,2)? Write your answer in the simplest form.

Oxana [17]

slope of line=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

give is

(x1,y1)=(8,2)

(x2,y2)=(10,2)

therefore slope =(2-2)/(10-8)=0/2=0

Hence

answer

Slope of line=0
