Answer:

7/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

=x/x+5.

x-5/x+5+4=⅛

x-5/x+9=⅛

x-5=⅛(x+9)

x-5=⅛x+1⅛

x-⅛x=1⅛+5

⅞x=49/8

7x=49

x=7

thus the initial fraction is x/x+5= <u>7</u><u>/</u><u>1</u><u>2</u>

Solve T=L(2+RS) for R
True [87]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I would begin by distributing the L. It will be easier in the end to do it this way. There are a couple of ways you can do this, but distribution is the easiest. After you distribute the L you have

T = 2L + LRS

Next subtract the 2L to get

T - 2L = LRS. Lastly, to isolate the R, divide away the LS to get

\frac{T}{LS}-\frac{2L}{LS} = R  In that second term, the L's cancel each other out, leaving us with

\frac{T}{LS}-\frac{2}{S} = R
