Answer:

x=1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us replace the number with the variable "x". You will then get this equation:

8x-2=8

Move the -2 to 8 and you would get the equation:

8x=8+2

Simplify:

8x=10

Simplify:

x=10/8

You would then get the answer "x=1.25"

I hope this helps :)

Given: ΔXYZ AB is a midsegment parallel to XY. The slope of AB is 2 3 . What is the slope of XY?

stich3 [128]

The slope of XY is the same as the slope of AB because XY is parallel to AB. Parallel lines have the same slope.

One can convert temperature from Fahrenheit into Newton using the formula N=11/60(F-32) . What is the temperature in Fahrenheit

Rasek [7]

We are given

$N=\frac{11}{60} (F-32)$

Since, we have to solve for F

so, we will isolate F on anyone side

step-1:

Multiply both sides by 60

$60\times N=60\times \frac{11}{60} (F-32)$

$60N=11 (F-32)$

step-2:

Divide both sides by 11

$\frac{60N}{11} =\frac{11(F-32)}{11}$

$\frac{60}{11}N =F-32$

step-3:

Add both sides by 32

$\frac{60}{11}N+32 =F-32+32$

$\frac{60}{11}N+32 =F$

so, we get

$F=\frac{60}{11}N+32$ ................Answer

8-2|4-5y|=4 | | stands for absolute value

Contact [7]

Answer:

y = (2/5) OR y = (6/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is isolating the expression within the absolute value bars. The first thing we can do is subtract both sides by 8. If we do that, we get -2|4-5y| = -4. Now, to completely isolate the absolute value, we would have to divide by -2. This yields |4 - 5y| = 2. Finally, we can remove the absolute value bars. However, to do this, we need to first understand what an absolute value bar does to an equation. Lets say that |x| = 2. Absolute value describes the DISTANCE of some quantity from 0 (on the number line). Therefore, x (which is inside the absolute value bars) can be either positive or negative 2 (they are BOTH two units away from 0). Similarly, in this case, (4 - 5y) can either be 2 or -2 (because the absolute value of both is 2). Now we have two possible solutions to solve for:

4 - 5y = 2 OR 4 - 5y = -2

5y = 2 OR 5y = 6

y = (2/5) OR y = (6/5)

If we plug both of these answers back into the equation we can see that they both check out.
