Answer:
x=-36
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the 7/2x +1/2x to be 8/2x which means that it'll be 4x=18=9/2
then subtract 9/2x on both sides so itll be

-9/2x -9/2x
because if you do 8/2-9/2 it's -1/2
then multiply the reciprocal to both sides so

which then cancels out -1/2 and makes it
x=-36
The square root of 16=4, 4x2=8, x2=8.
24/100 and 6/25 is are some of the equivalent form
I believe that Mr.Scruggs got $225 for his birthday, if my math is correct of course. :) I hope this helps! Have a great day!

Divide both sides by 8 and you get y=5
Pretty sure that's right. I have a dad who has a math degree so I think it would be right because he helps me every time.
