Solve 1/3x - 5/6x =1/4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Harrizon [31]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\frac{1}{3}x  - \frac{5}{6} x = \frac{1}{4}

Find the common denominator for the fractions, which is 6. Rewrite 1/3 as 2/6.

\frac{2}{6}x  - \frac{5}{6} x = \frac{1}{4}

Combine like terms.

-\frac{3}{6} x = \frac{1}{4}

Simplify.

-0.5x = 1/4

Divide both sides by -0.5.

x = -1/2 = -0.5

What is the slope of the line shown below
Radda [10]

Here's the slope form; (y2- y1) / (x2 - x1)

All you have to do now is just plug in the number into the formula.

(6 - -4) / (6 - 1) = 10/5

Then divide, and the answer is D. 2.

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (2, 4) and a directrix of y = 8. f(x) = −one eighth (x − 2)2 + 6 f(x) = one
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

For any point (x, y ) on the parabola the focus and directrix are equidistant

Using the distance formula

\sqrt{(x-2)^2+(y-4)^2} = | y - 8 |

Squaring both sides gives

(x - 2)² + (y - 4)² = (y - 8)²

(x - 2)² + y² - 8y + 16 = y² - 16y + 64 ( rearrange and simplify )

(x - 2)² = - 8y + 48

8y = - (x - 2)² + 48

y = - \frac{1}{8}(x - 2)² + 6 → A

Please help I’m literally slow
trapecia [35]

Answer:

1/5^7 (the last one)

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing exponents you subtract the the two exponents. In this case you subtract 3 from -4. -4-3=-7. So you have 5^-7. That is also equal to 1/5^7

Solve the inequality: –3(x + 2) > 4x + 5(x – 7)
Gwar [14]

Answer:

29/12 > x

Step-by-step explanation:

–3(x + 2) > 4x + 5(x – 7)

Distribute

-3x -6 > 4x +5x-35

Combine like terms

-3x-6 > 9x -35

Add 3x to each side

-3x+3x-6 > 9x+3x -35

-6 > 12x-35

Add 35 to each side

-6+35 > 12x -35+35

29 > 12x

Divide each side by 12

29/12 > 12x/12

29/12 > x
