Answer:

196

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the largest share was 56 and the largest ratio is 14, then

56 ÷ 14 = 4 ← value of 1 part of the share, thus

8 parts = 8 × 4 = 32

6 parts = 6 × 4 = 24

9 parts = 9 × 4 = 36

14 parts = 14 × 4 = 56

12 parts = 12 × 4 = 48

Total the amounts

total = 32 + 24 + 36 + 56 + 48 = 196

if you put the points into the equation y2 - y1/x2 - x1 you'll end up with a zero in the denominator, which indicates a vertical slope. Basically the slope(m) is undefined

It's really easy to tell if your answer is going to be undefined if both the x values are the same (in this case they're both 9)

What the answer to this equation X/8+4=5 ?

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The answer to this equation is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{8} +4=5\\$

First: Subtract

$8-4=4$

$5 > 4$ meaning that 5 is greater than 4.

You still need another number to make it equal than or greater than or equal to five.

$5-4=1$

Since 5 minus 4 does equal 1

You need somewhere to divide it from to get 1 so you can add up the 4 to it and get the answer to the equation.

Lastly: Divide

$\frac{8}{8} =1$

$1+4=5\\5=5\\4\neq 5$

Now, if you do 8/8 which equals 1, 1+4 = 5; Now everything is, equaled up!

So in conclusion...

$\frac{x}{8} +4=5\\x=8\\\frac{8}{8}=1\\1+4=5\\5\neq5$
