Answer: b=-8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Additive inverse,

5

8

Multiplicative inverse,

−

8

5

Explanation:

For a number

a

, it's multiplicative inverse

b

is such that

a

⋅

b

=

1

which is the multiplicative identity.

For a number

a

, it's additive inverse

c

would be such that

a

+

c

=

0

where

0

is additive identity.

Thus, for

a

=

−

5

8

It's additive inverse be

c

.

Then

−

5

8

+

c

=

0

Now, adding

5

8

to both sides,

c

=

5

8

.

Let the multiplicative inverse be

b

.

Then

a

⋅

b

=

1

⇒

−

5

8

⋅

b

=

1

Multiplying both sides with

−

8

5

Need help with 4, thanks!
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, you need to find the scale factor. This is done through cross multiplying proportions. In this instance, you have to cross multiply x/4 by 3.5/7. When you multiply x and 7, you get 7x. When you multiply 3.5 and 4, you get 14. Simplify by isolating the variable, and you get 2.

We have three coins: one with heads on both faces, the second with tails on both faces, and the third a regular one. We choose o
Finger [1]

Answer:

Probability: \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 = 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the question one coin is chosen at random and tossed. That coin then lands and is heads. Since the coin landed on heads we can <u>eliminate the possibility</u> of the coin that was chosen being the coin with double tails.

The following possibilities are that the coin has double heads or is a regular coin with both tails and heads. Seeing as the coin landed on heads, there are only two possible out comes for the other side of the coin

The other side is either Heads or Tails. That gives us a 50% chance of the other side being tails.

\frac{1}{2} = 0.5 = 50%

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
