x = 6

given

$\frac{x+2}{x-2}$ = $\frac{4}{8}$

cross- multiply to obtain

8(x + 2) = 4(x - 2) ( distribute parenthesis on both sides )

8x + 16 = 4x - 8 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

4x + 16 = - 8 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

4x = - 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = $\frac{-24}{4}$ = - 6

Hello there!

Answer: ⇒ x=-6

_________________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply fraction cross multiply.

$(x+2)*8=(x-2)*4$

Expand.

$8x+16=4x-8$

Subtract by 16 from both sides of equation.

$8x+16-16=4x-8-16$

Simplify.

$8x=4x-24$

Subtract by 4x from both sides of equation.

$8x-4x=4x-24-4x$

Simplify.

$4x=-24$

Divide by 4 from both sides of equation.

$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{-24}{4}$

Simplify it should be correct answer.

$x=-6$

What is the solution to this inequality: -4(3x-5)<2(3x+4)

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

x > 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(3x - 5) < 2(3x + 4)

Divide both sides by 2.

-2(3x - 5) < 3x + 4

Distribute on the left side.

-6x + 10 < 3x + 4

Subtract 3x from both sides.

-9x + 10 < 4

Subtract 10 from both sides.

-9x < - 6

Divide both sides by -9. Remember that when you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign changes direction.

x > (-6)/(-9)

x > 6/9

x > 2/3

This is Grade 9 Mathematics so I kinda stuck here so, if somebody can help me Please sin30⁰+csc60⁰

mamaluj [8]

$\huge\mathrm{Answer࿐}$

$\sin(30) + \csc(60)$

$\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{2}{ \sqrt{3} }$

$\dfrac{ \sqrt{3 } + 4 }{2 \sqrt{3} }$

To remove √3 from denominator, we multiply both numerator as well as denominator with √3

$\dfrac{ \sqrt{3 } + 4 }{2 \sqrt{3} } \times \dfrac{ \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{3} }$

$\dfrac{3 + 4 \sqrt{3} }{6}$

Give the solution set for the inequality 7x < 7(x - 2) in interval notation.

eduard

ANSWER:

The solution set for the inequality 7x < 7(x - 2) is null set $\varnothing$

SOLUTION:

Given, inequality expression is 7x < 7 × (x – 2)

We have to give the solution set for above inequality expression in the interval notation form.

Now, let us solve the inequality expression for x.

Then, 7x < 7 × (x – 2)

7x < 7 × x – 2 × 7

7x < 7x – 14

7x – (7x – 14) < 0

7x – 7x + 14 < 0

0 + 14 < 0

14 < 0

Which is false, so there exists no solution for x which can satisfy the given equation.

So, the interval solution for given inequality will be null set

Hence, the solution set is $\varnothing$

Dante's Mom wants to build a fence around their yard. Here are the measurements of the yard. What are the measurements of the mi

timama [110]

Answer:

(a)The missing measurements are 9 feet and $16\frac{1}{4}$ feet$ .

(b)Therefore, the length of the fence is $97\frac{1}{2}$ feet$

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the yard is attached below.

(a)I have labeled the missing dimensions of the yard as x and y.

Therefore:

$y+8\frac{1}{4}=17 \frac{1}{4}\\y=17 \frac{1}{4}-8\frac{1}{4}\\y=9$ feet$

Similarly:

$x+15\frac{1}{4}=31\frac{1}{2}\\x=31\frac{1}{2}-15\frac{1}{4}\\x=31-15+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}\\x=16+\frac{1}{4}\\x=16\frac{1}{4}$ feet$

The missing measurements are 9 feet and $16\frac{1}{4}$ feet$ .

(b)Length of the Fence

The fence is rectangular shaped with:

Length = $31\frac{1}{2}$ feet$

Width = $17 \frac{1}{4}$ feet$

Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2(L+W)

Therefore, the length of the fence

$=2(31\frac{1}{2}+17 \frac{1}{4})\\=2(31+17+\frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{4})\\=2(48+ \frac{3}{4})\\=96+\frac{3}{2}\\=97\frac{1}{2}$ feet$
