Hi!

Let's write the equation in number form first.

7 over 8
7/8

minus 1
7/8 - 1

over x
7/8 - 1/x

equals 3
7/8 - 1/x = 3

over 4
7/8 - 1/x = 3/4

Now to find the value, let's put each option as the value for x.

A. x = 1
7/8 - 1/1 = 3/4
7/8 - 1 = 3/4
0.875 - 1 = 0.75
-0.125 = 0.75
This is wrong.

B. x = 2
7/8 - 1/2 = 3/4
7/8 - 0.5 = 3/4
0.875 - 0.5 = 0.75
0.375 = 0.75
This is wrong.

C. x = 4
7/8 - 1/4 = 3/4
7/8 - 0.25 = 3/4
0.875 - 0.25 = 0.75
0.625 = 0.75
This is wrong.

D. x = 8
7/8 - 1/8 = 3/4
7/8 - 0.125 = 3/4
0.875 - 0.125 = 0.75
0.75 = 0.75
This is correct!

The answer is d. x = 8

Hope this helps! :)

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The answer is Phone Surveys.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say that there are 4 main types of survey methods and they are "In-Person Surveys", "E-mail Surveys", "Phone Surveys" and "Online Surveys".

In-Person Surveys are out of the question in the situation that is described because we need the fastest possible method.

E-mail Surveys and Online Surveys are at completed at a time that the other party chooses so we have no control over how fast we can get the results.

The fastest and best option we can use for the situation Dr. Lee's in is Phone Surveys because they are direct and give quick results over a short amount of time and they can be scheduled according to our needs.

I hope this answer helps.

koban [17]

Answer:

The simplified form of -6.3x+14 and 1.5x-6 is -4.8x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to simplify the following

-6.3x+14 and 1.5x-6

it can be written as:

=(-6.3x+14) + (1.5x-6)

Adding the like terms

=(-6.3x+1.5x)+(14-6)

= (-4.8x)+(8)

= -4.8x+8

So, the simplified form of -6.3x+14 and 1.5x-6 is -4.8x+8
