Answer: x=-10
Step-by-step explanation: hope this help
The second step is wrong. What should've been done is to find greatest common factor (gcf) of 1/6 and -2. This is because you cannont add together a number with a variable to a number without a variable. So get the variable by itself by subtracting 1/6 from both sides.
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
Turn -2 into a fraction and find the gcf of -2 and 6:
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
1/5x = -2/1 — 1/6 ——> 1/5x = -12/6 — 1/6
1/5x = -13/6
Then divide each side by 1/5 to get the variable by itself; remeber: when dividing a fraction by a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal.
5/1 • 1/5x = -13/6 • 5/1
x = 65/6
Then, simplify
65/6} 10.83 or 10 83/100
Ok so you divide them and then make sure that 1 is the denominator and the numerator can be anything else
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
use the slope formula, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) , or rise over run.
this would give you 2-(-1) divided by 6-(-6)
giving you 3/12, reducing to 1/4
Answer:
5000 students appeared in the examination.
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve this question using Venn probabilities.
I am going to say that:
Event A: Passed in Mathematics
Event B: Passed in English.
5% failed in both subjects
This means that 100 - 5 = 95% pass in at least one, which means that 
80% passed in mathematics 75% passed in english
This means that 
Proportion who passed in both:

Considering the values we have for this problem

3000 of them were passed both subjects how many students appeared in the examination?
3000 is 60% of the total t. So



5000 students appeared in the examination.
