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

Which of the following numbers could be the sides of a right triangle. A)8,15,17. B)6,8,12 C)9,11,21 D)4,13,16
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A) 8, 15, 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Right triangle obey the Pythagorean theorem. Thus, we choose the two smaller numbers (being the cathetus) and if after applying the P. Theorem we get the biggest of each option  (the hypotenuse) that means that those numbers could be the sides of a right triangle.

The Pythagorean theorem states that: a^2+b^2=c^2

Thus:

\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=c

Option A:

\sqrt{8^2+15^2}=17 → 17 = 17 OK!

Option B:

\sqrt{6^2+8^2}  = 10 → 10 ≠ 12 NO

Option C:

\sqrt{9^2+11^2} = [tex]\sqrt{202}[/tex] → \sqrt{202} ≠ 21 NO

Option D:

\sqrt{4^2+13^2} = \sqrt{185} → \sqrt{185} ≠ 16 NO
