Solve for x: 7 over 8 minus 1 over x equals 3 over 4.

1 answer:

8 0

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! :)

Faron wants to paint the four walls in his bedroom. The room measures 12 ft long, 10 ft wide and 8 ft high. There are two doors

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

319 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The walls of the room (the ones on the long side) have an area of 12 x 8 = 96 square feet each one. Thus, their area is 96 x 2= 192 square feet.

The other two walls have an area of 10 x 8 = 80 square feet each one. Thus, their area combined is 80 x 2 = 160 square feet.

Therefore, we have that the total area of the four walls is

192 +160 = 352 square feet

However, we have a door and a window that won't be painted.

The area of the door is: 3 x 7 =21 square feet

The area of the window is 3 x 4 = 12 square feet

Thus, the total amount of area that won't be painted is

21 + 12 = 33 square feet.

So we are going to take the total area minus the area that won't be painted to know the total area that Faron will pain:

352 - 33 = 319 square feet.

Thus, she will paint 319 square feet

Answer:

PQ = 5 units

QR = 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P(-3, 3)

Q(2, 3)

R(2, -5)

To determine

The length of the segment PQ

The length of the segment QR

Determining the length of the segment PQ

From the figure, it is clear that P(-3, 3) and Q(2, 3) lies on a horizontal line. So, all we need is to count the horizontal units between them to determine the length of the segments P and Q.

P(-3, 3), Q(2, 3)

PQ = 2 - (-3)

PQ = 2+3

PQ = 5 units

Therefore, the length of the segment PQ = 5 units

Determining the length of the segment QR

Q(2, 3), R(2, -5)

(x₁, y₁) = (2, 3)

(x₂, y₂) = (2, -5)

The length between the segment QR is:

$l=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$
