Answer:

<h2>x = 1/8 , - 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

8x² + 7x - 1 = 0

Rewrite 7x as a difference

That's

8x² + 8x - x - 1 = 0

Factorize

8x( x + 1) - ( x + 1) = 0

(8x - 1)( x + 1) = 0

8x - 1 = 0 x + 1 =0

8x = 1 x = - 1

x = 1/8

The solutions are

<h3>x = 1/8 , - 1</h3>

Hope this helps you

1. Cross multiply
35x = 5(11)
35x = 55
Divide both sides by 35
x = 55/35
x = 11/7

2.  (x - 2)/x = 3/8
Cross multiply
3x = 8(x - 2)
3x = 8x - 16
Subtract 8x from both sides
-5x = -16
divide both sides by -5
x = -16/-5
x = 16/5 OR  3 1/5

3.  (a + 1)/(a - 1) = 5/6
cross multiply
6(a + 1) = 5(a - 1)
distribute
6a + 6 = 5a - 5
subtract 5a from both sides
a + 6 = -5
subtract 6 from both sides
a = -11

4.  (1/3)x - 4 = (2/3)x + 6
multiply each term by 3 to clear the fractions
x - 12 = 2x + 18
subtract x from both sides
-12 = x + 18
subtract 18 from both sides
-30 = x
