Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we can use PEMDAS or Order of Operations.

Parenthesis

Exponents

Multiplication>Division

Addition>Subtraction

Using the various properties can also help make the equation easier.

First, solve for parenthesis using the distributive property.

Our equation is now : 3/4x+3=1/4x+2

Now, subtract 2 on both sides, to cancel out the positive 2 on the right.

3/4x+1=1/4x

Now subtract 3/4x from both sides.

1=-2/4x

Finally, to isolate x, divide both sides by -2/4

1/-2/4=-2

x=-2

Hope this helps!

8. Is the following statement true or false? Justify your conclusion. If a and b are nonnegative real numbers and a + b =0, then

atroni [7]

Answer:

If $a + b = 0$ then $a = 0$ and $b =0$

a | b | a + b (answer)

0 | 0 | 0

0 | 1 | 1

0 | 2 | 2

1 | 0 | 1

2 | 0 | 2

1 | 1 | 2

2 | 1 | 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the following conditions for the real numbers:

$a\geq 0\\b\geq 0$

Following the rules of these in-equations, it is possible to deduce:

$a + b \geq 0$

Then, if the proposed statement is:

$a + b = 0$

The conditions above shall comply the requirements established, but first, analyzing the statement:

If $a \geq 0$ and $b \geq 0$ then $a + b \geq a$ , $a + b \geq b$ and $a + b \geq 0$ .

If $a = 0$ and b a non negative real number, then $a + b \geq b$ , but because to $a = 0$ , then $a + b = b$ . Due to the commutative property of sums, the same behavior will be presented if $b = 0$ and a a non negative real number.

According to that, if $a + b = 0$ , then $a = 0$ and $b = 0$ .

Find the missing side lengths

timama [110]

since this a 45 45 90 right triangle to get the side lengths you divide 2 times the square root of 2 and you get 2, since this has two congruent angles which makes it an Isosceles triangle. your a and b value are 2.

The ratio of girls to boys in Liza’s classroom is 5 to 4. How many girls are in her classroom if there is a total of 27 students

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Number of girls = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

girls : boys = 5 : 4

Number of girls = 5x

Number of boys = 4x

Total students = 27

5x +4x = 27

9x = 27

x = 27/9

x = 3

Number of girls = 5x = 5*3 = 15
