Answer:

9/22

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 + x=10/11

Subtract 1/2 from each side

1/2-1/2 + x=10/11-1/2

x = 10/11 -1/2

Getting a common denominator of 22

x = 10/11*2/2 -1/2 *11/11

x = 20/22 - 11/22

x = 9/22

Answer:

x=9/22

Step-by-step explanation:

u have to subtract 1/2 on both sides, so u can get X by itself

1/2-1/2+x=10/11-1/2

get the common denominator for 10/11 and 1/2

10/11 times 2/2=20/22

1/2 times 11/11=11/22

20/22-11/22= 9/22

x=9/22

ANSWER CHECK

substitute the variable X for 1/22

1/2+9/22=10/11

common denominator

1/2 times 11/11=11/22

11/22+9/22= 20/22 or 10/11

2.Solve the following quadratic equations<br> i. 9x^2 - 1/16<br> ii. 2h^2 - 3h - 27

Juli2301 [7.4K]

$i)~9x^2-\dfrac{1}{16}=0\iff9x^2=\dfrac{1}{16}\iff x^2=\dfrac{1}{9\cdot16}\iff \\\\x^2=\dfrac{1}{144}\iff x=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{144}}=\pm\dfrac{1}{12}\Longrightarrow\boxed{x=\pm\dfrac{1}{12}}$

$ii)~2h^2-3h-27=0\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\to \Delta=(-3)^2-4\cdot2\cdot(-27)\to\Delta=9+216=225\\\\
\Longrightarrow h=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\dfrac{-(-3)\pm\sqrt{225}}{2\cdot2}=\dfrac{3\pm15}{4}\\\\\begin{cases}h_1=\dfrac{3+15}{4}=\dfrac{18}{4}\iff \boxed{h_1=\dfrac{9}{2}}\\h_2=\dfrac{3-15}{4}=\dfrac{-12}{4}\iff\boxed{h_2=-3}\end{cases}$

Ten less than half of a number(x) is 6.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

x = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Unknown number = x

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;

$\frac {x}{2} - 10 = 6$

Lowest common denominator (LCD) = 2

We multiply all through by 2;

$2* \frac {x}{2} - 2*10 = 2*6$

$x - 20 = 12$

$x = 12 + 20$

x = 32

Therefore, the unknown number is 32.

Solve for X showing every step

Rashid [163]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 6) -5 = 16

You want to first add the 5 (*flipping the sign) over to the 16

making your equation ...

3(x +6) = 21

Then you want to distribute the 3 to x and 6

making you equation

3x + 18 = 21

Then you want to subtract the 18 (*flipping the sign) to the right side

making the equation....

3x = 3

Lastly, divide the 3 on the left to the 3 on the right making the answer 1

x = 1
