Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x - 3/4 = 3/8 - 5/8x

The LCD is 8. Lets change every fraction to a denominator of 8.

4/8x - 6/8 = 3/8 - 5/8x

Now multiply both sides by 8.

4x - 6 = 3 - 5x

Add 5x to both sides. Add 6 to both sides.

9x = 9

Divide both sides by 9.

x = 1

Answer: x= 9/7

Step-by-step explanation: the numbers must have a common denominator which is 8. Multiply 1/2 by 4/4. Multiply -3/4 by 2/2. Since all numbers have 8 as their denominator, in parentheses, divide by 8. Then you will get 2x-6=3-5x. Add 5x to both sides. Then you will get 7x-6=3. Add 6 to both sides. Then you will get 7x=9. Divide by 7 to both sides. x= 9/7.

Is the number prime 5 and cmppsite or just one?
Serga [27]

If I understand what you are asking, the number 5 is prime. The definition for a prime number is a number that has no factors other than itself and one. The prime factorization of 5 is 5 * 1. Since 5's factors are only itself and 1, that means that it is prime. The definition of a composite number is a number that has at least one divisor other than one and itself. This means that a number cannot be both prime and composite.
