How do I solve for x

Mathematics
2 answers:
Crazy boy [7]2 years ago
8 0
SOLUTION:

5a / x = 5b / x - 1

( 5a ) ( x - 1 ) = ( x ) ( 5b )

5ax - 5a = 5bx

5ax - 5bx = 5a

5x ( a - b ) = 5a

5x = 5a / ( a - b )

x = 5a / ( a - b ) ÷ 5

x = 5a / 5 ( a - b )

x = a / ( a - b )

Hope this helps! :)

5x-8y=29 find y when x= -1
Anettt [7]

Answer:

-4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

When x = -1, the equation is 5(-1) - 8y = 29. This simplifies to -5 - 8y = 29. Add 5 to both sides to get -8y = 34. Divide -8 from both sides to get y = -4.25.

Hope it helps!

The perimeter of a triangular plot of land is 2400ft . the longest side is 200 ft less than twice the shortest. the middle side
Lisa [10]
I'm not certain but I'm pretty sure it's 1000+600+800=2400
T=1000= the longest side
S=1/2 (t+200)=600= shortest side
M=t-200=800=middle side.

Please help me I am so confused it would mean a lot.
Alisiya [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The midpoint formula says the coordinates of the midpoint are the average of the endpoints.

x = (x₁ + x₂) / 2

y = (y₁ + y₂) / 2

I'll do #2 and #3 as examples.

2. x = (-4 + 10) / 2 = 3

y = (6 + -10) / 2 = -2

So the midpoint is (3, -2).

3. x = (-3 + -6.5) / 2 = -4.75

y = (-8 + -4.5) / 2 = -6.25

So the midpoint is (-4.75, -6.25).
