Divide by a whole number to get 40 which is 5 and then keep left over 3/8 to get mixed number of 5 3/8
This is some simple Algebra
So it's 4x+16=-2
We subtract 16 from both sides
4x=-18
Sivide both sides by 4
X=-4.5

Answer:
a) 5.83 cm
b) 34.45°
Step-by-step explanation:
a) From Pythagoras theorem of right triangles, given right triangle ABC:
AB² + BC² = AC²
Therefore:
AC² = 5² + 3²
AC² = 25 + 9 = 34
AC = √34
AC = 5.83 cm
b) From triangle ACD, AC = 5.83 cm, AD = 4 cm and ∠A = 90°.
From Pythagoras theorem of right triangles, given right triangle ACD:
AD² + AC² = DC²
Therefore:
DC² = 5.83² + 4²
DC² = 34 + 16 = 50
DC = √50
DC = 7.07 cm
Let ∠ACD be x. Therefore using sine rule:

Add 5ft 7in and 4ft 8in together
5ft 7in + 4ft 8in = 10ft 3in
