8/x=14/7 what does x equal

Mathematics

1 answer:

Veronika [31]3 years ago

Answer:

when you have two fractions that equal each other you want to solve by using cross multiply

What cross multiply is, is when you multiply diagonally so:

8/x=14/7

you would take 14*x and 8*7

14x=56 (you would then divide each side by 14)

x=4 (14/14=1, 56/14=4)

8/4=14/7

To check your work you could simplify

8/4=2

14/7=2

2=2, which is true

x=4

Hope this helps ;)

It's a question from real and complex numbers which I can't solve. so someone PLZ HeLp

Semmy [17]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of exponents

$a^{m}$ × $a^{n}$ = $a^{(m+n)}$ , $\frac{a^{m} }{a^{n} }$ = $a^{(m-n)}$ , $(a^m)^{n}$ = $a^{mn}$

Simplifying the product of the first 2 terms

$\frac{a^{p^2+pq} }{a^{pq+q^2} }$ × $\frac{a^{q^2+qr} }{a^{qr+r^2} }$

= $a^{p^2-q^2}$ × $a^{q^2-r^2}$

= $a^{p^2-r^2}$

Simplifying the third term

5( $(a^p+r)^{p-r}$

= 5 $a^{(p+r)(p-r)}$ = 5 $a^{(p^2-r^2)}$

Performing the division, that is

$\frac{a^{(p^2-r^2)} }{5a^{(p^2-r^2)} }$ ← cancel $a^{(p^2-r^2)}$ on numerator/ denominator leaves

= $\frac{1}{5}$

Simplify.<br> Write your answer without parentheses.

adoni [48]

Answer:

Simplifying the expression eliminating the parentheses:

(-5 u^2 w)^3 = -125 u^6 w^3

Step-by-step explanation:

(-5 u^2 w)^3 = (-5)^3 (u^2)^3 (w)^3

(-5 u^2 w)^3 = (-5)(-5)(-5) u^(2 x 3) w^3

(-5 u^2 w)^3 = -125 u^6 w^3

Graph g(x), where f(x)=2x-5 and g(x)=f(x+1)

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Graph g(x) = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in (x+1) to f(x) = 2x - 5:

g(x) = 2(x+1) - 5 = 2x + 2 - 5

g(x) = 2x - 3
