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!

<u><em>Answer: ⇒ x=-6</em></u>

_________________________________________________________

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

It is a good idea to get familiar with the operation of your calculator. If you're going to use on-line resources to work problems like this, you can make use of any of several good on-line calculators. Google and Bing search boxes will do calculations for you while observing all the rules of the Order of Operations.

The result of this computation is a number that begins 2.56.... Since the hundredths digit is more than 4, the tenths digit is rounded to the next higher value, from 5 to 6.

Rounded to tenths, 2.1√1.488 = 2.6

A rectangle has a length five more than twice the width. If the perimeter is 22 units find the width and length
PtichkaEL [24]

Set the following: Length = L    Width = W

The length is twice the width:    L = 2*W     or:  W = L/2

Perimeter: P = 60ft = 2*L + 2*W

Substituting L for W in the perimeter equation gives:

P = 60ft = 2*L + 2*(L/2) = 2*L + L = 3L

L = 60ft/3 = 20ft    W=L/2=20ft/2=10ft

Verify result:  Perimeter= P = 60ft = 2L + 2W = 2*20ft +2*10ft = 40ft+20ft = 60ft

The area of the rectangular is: Area = A = Length*Width = L*W = 20ft*10ft = 200 (ft)^2

Answer:

 In order to change a rational number to a decimal, we just convert the number into the form of a fraction. We then divide the numerator with the denominator and find out the exact value of the division.
