How do I solve 1/8x=5

Mathematics

Aneli [31]3 years ago

1/8x = 5

1/8x = 5/1

Take reciprocal of both sides

8x/1 = 1/5

8x = 1/5              Divide both sides by 8

x = 1/5 ÷ 8

x = 1/5 * 1/8

x = 1/40

You multiply both sides by the reciprocal (flip fraction) 
1/8--->8/1=8
So now multiply both sides by 8
1/8*8=0 (cancels out) 
x=5*8
x=40

Answer:

  y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is ...

  m = (7 -7)/(0 -4) = 0

The y-intercept is the point (0, 7), so the slope-intercept equation is ...

  y = mx +b

  y = 0·x +7

Simplifying this puts it in standard form:

  y = 7

3x-8y=24 <br> y=x-8<br> Please show <br> work
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

3x - 8y = 24   --------(1)

y = x - 8  ---------(2)

substitute  y in (1)

3x - 8( x - 8) = 24

3x - 8x + 64 = 24

-5x = 24 - 64

-5x = -40

5x = 40

x= 8

substitute x in (2)

y = 2 - 8

y = - 6
