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!

mash [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = height * length

Let length of mural be x so height is 2/3x

Area = 2/3x*x = 600

x*x=900

x=30 feet

Length = 30 feet

Height = 2/3 *30 = 20 feet

Since this is a right triangle, we will use a right triangle trig identity to solve our problem. The side opposite the reference angle A is given as 5, and the side adjacent to the reference angle is given as 7. The trig ratio that uses the sides opposite and adjacent is the tangent ratio:

$tanA=\frac{5}{7}$
