Hello! :))
So all you have to do is <em>add</em> the <em>numerator</em> to get a total of 4/5.
Hope this helps!!
Step-by-step explanation:
x= -2,
(x - 5) / 2= -6
( (-2) - 5) / 2= -6
(-7) / 2 = -6
-3.5 = - 6
right hand side not equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= -2 cannot exist for this equation.
x=2,
(x - 5) / 2= -6
(2 - 5) / 2= -6
(-3) / 2= -6
-1.5 = - 6
right hand side not equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= 2 cannot exist for this equation.
x= -17
(x - 5) / 2= -6
( ( -17) - 5) / 2= -6
(- 22) / 2= -6
-11 = -6
right hand side not equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= -17 cannot exist for this equation.
x= -7,
(x - 5) / 2= -6
( ( -7) -5) / 2= -6
(-12) / 2= -6
-6= -6
right hand side equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= -7 exist for this equation.
The answer is A my friend.
Answer:
a=19
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to distribute the parenthesis; multiply (a+5) by 1/3
8=1/3*a+1/3*5
Now we just solve the equation regularly
8=1/3a+5/3
8-5/3=1/3a
6 1/3=1/3a
a=19
