Simplify both sides of the equation
-5/2 x +3/4 x = -3/4
Combine like terms
(-5/2 x + 3/4 x )
-7/4 x = -3/4
-7/4 x = -3/4
Multiply both sides by 4/(-7)
(4/-7)*(-7/4 x ) = (4/-7 ) * ( -3/4 )
x = 3/7
Your answer is X= -1
you have to move terms first to get this
8x-5=2x+1
then collect like terms and calculate sum
8x-2x=1+5
lastly you divide both sides by 6
X=1
HOPE THIS HELPS! :)
Let x = Parent's age now y = son's age now
Then, x-5 = parent's age five years ago
y-5 = son's age five years ago
So, x-5 = 5(y-5)
Simplify to get x - 5y = -20
Parent's age 8 years from now = x+8
Son's age 8 years from now = y+8
So, x+8 = 3(y+8)
Simplifying, we have x - 3y = 16
We have the system of equations: x - 5y = -20
x - 3y = 16
Subtract the equations to obtain -2y = -36
y = 18
x = 70
Parent is 70 years old and the son is 18 years old.
Answer:
The equations shows a difference of squares are:
<u>10y²- 4x²</u> $ <u>6y²- x²</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
the difference of two squares is a squared number subtracted from another squared number, it has the general from Ax² - By²
We will check the options to find which shows a difference of squares.
1) 10y²- 4x²
The expression is similar to the general form, so the equation represents a difference of squares.
It can be factored as (√10 y + 2x )( √10 y - 2x)
2) 6y²- x²
The expression is similar to the general form, so the equation represents a difference of squares.
It can be factored as (√6y + x )( √6y - x)
3) 8x²−40x+25
The expression is not similar to the general form, so the equation does not represent a difference of squares.
4) 64x²-48x+9
The expression is not similar to the general form, so the equation does not represent a difference of squares.
16/25 = 0.64 = 64%
Another way to do it is to multiply top and bottom by 4
16/25 = (16*4)/(25*4) = 64/100 = 64%
Either way, the answer is 64%
