Answer:

x=\frac{51}{2}=25.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: expression  'negative 4 over 3, multiplied by x minus 6 equals negative 26'

We have to solve for x .

Consider the given expression 'negative 4 over 3, multiplied by x minus 6 equals negative 26'

Mathematically written as,

\left(-\frac{4}{3}\right)\left(x-6\right)=-26

Multiply both side b 3, we get,

\left(-\frac{4}{3}\right)\left(x-6\right)\left(-3\right)=\left(-26\right)\left(-3\right)

Simplify, we get,

4\left(x-6\right)=78

Divide both side by 4, we have,

\frac{4\left(x-6\right)}{4}=\frac{78}{4}

Simplify, we have,

x-6=\frac{39}{2}

Adding 6 both side, we have,

x-6+6=\frac{39}{2}+6

Simplify, we have,

x=\frac{51}{2}

Thus, x=\frac{51}{2}=25.5

-4/3(x - 6) = -26
-4/3x + 8 = -26
-4/3x = -26 - 8
-4/3x = - 34
x = -34 * - 3/4
x = 102/4
x = 25.5 or 25 1/2

A short necklace has 32 gold beads and 8 black beads.
joja [24]

Answer:

12 black beads

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ration of gold beads to black beads on the short necklace:

\frac{gold}{black}=\frac{32}{8}=\frac{4}{1}

Since the ratio of 4:1 has 5 total parts, you can take the total amount of beads in the long necklace and divide by 5:

60 ÷ 5 = 12

12 beads represents 1 part of the ratio, so that would be the number of black beads.  To check, multiply 12 by 4:  12 x 4 = 48, and set up a ratio:

48: 12 = 4: 1

Answer:(7/8 - 4/5)^2 = 9

1600

= 0.005625

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract: 7

8

- 4

5

= 7 · 5

8 · 5

- 4 · 8

5 · 8

= 35

40

- 32

40

= 35 - 32

40

= 3

40

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(8, 5) = 40. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 8 × 5 = 40. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.

In words - seven eighths minus four fifths = three fortieths.

Exponentiation: the result of step No. 1 ^ 2 = (3

40

) ^ 2 = 32

402

= 9

1600

In words - three fortieths squared = nine one-thousand six-hundredths.
