Solve the Equation p+5/8=15/16?

1 answer:

6 0

So the first thing you want to do when faced with two fractions with different denominators (when subtracting or adding) is to make the denominators the same. So for this equation they would turn out to be p+10/16=15/16 (because 16 is the lowest common denominator, 8 times two) so then you want to subtract 10/16 from 15/16 to isolate the variable (p) which would get:
p=5/16
This is the final answer because it cannot be simplified.
Hope this helps!

Solve the equation for y (y-3)^2=4y-12

Ket [755]

(y -3)^2 = 4y - 12

Expand.

(y-3)(y -3) = 4y - 12

y² - 6y + 9 = 4y - 12

y² - 6y -4y + 9 + 12 = 0

y² - 10y + 21 = 0

Factors are -7y and - 3y

y² - 10y + 21 = 0

y² - 3y - 7y + 21 = 0

y(y - 3) -7(y - 3) = 0

(y - 3)(y - 7) = 0

y-3 = 0 or y - 7 = 0

y = 0 + 3 or y = 0 + 7

y = 3 or 7

Simplify: 5^2 x 5^4 A, 5^8 B. 5 x 8 C. 5^2 D. 5^6

VikaD [51]

Whenever we multiply values where the bases are the same, you add the exponents.

2+4=6, so the answer is

5^6

Hope this helped :)

A fish tank has the shape of a rectangular prism. It has a length of 2 1/4 m, width of 7/8 m, and a height of 1 1/2 m. What is t

Andru [333]

Data:
l (lenght) = $2 \frac{1}{4} m$ = $\frac{9}{4}m$
w (widht) = $\frac{7}{8}m$
h (height) = $1 \frac{1}{2} m$ = $\frac{3}{2} m$
V (volume) = ?

Formula:
$V = l*w*h$

Solving:
$V = l*w*h$
$V = \frac{9}{4} * \frac{7}{8} * \frac{3}{2}$
$V = \frac{189}{64}m^3$

Transforming into a mixed fraction:

.....................189 |_64 → denominator
numerator←(61)....2.→Whole part

Stays like this: $2 \frac{61}{64}$

Therefore:
$V = \frac{189}{64}m^3\:\longrightarrow\:\boxed{\boxed{V=2 \frac{61}{64}m^3 }}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
