Make bottom numbers same
convert to improper fraction
1 and 5/6=1+5/6=6/6+5/6=11/6
1/2 and 11/6
2 times 3=6
1/2 times 3/3=3/6
1/2+11/6=3/6+11/6=(4+11)/6=14/6
answer is A
Answer:
b = -57/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first distribute everything out:
-8(1 + 5b) = -8 * 1 + (-8) * 5b = -8 - 40b
2(86 - 1) = 2 * 85 = 170
So, we have:
-8 - 40b - 170 = 50
-40b - 178 = 50
-40b = 50 + 178 = 228
b = -228/40 = -57/10
Thus, the answer is b = -57/10.
Hope this helps!

Answer:</h3>
3 11/15 cm
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
AE is the angle bisector of ∠A, so divides the sides of the triangle into a proportion:
... BE:CE = BA:CA = 7:8
Then ...
... BE:BC = 7 : (7+8) = 7:15
ΔDBE ~ ΔABC, so DE = 7/15 × AC
... DE = 7/15 × 8 cm = (56/15) cm
... DE = 3 11/15 cm
