Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4x +2= -5/8x - 5

Add 5/8x to each side

1/4x +5/8x +2= -5/8x+5/8x - 5

1/4x+5/8x +2=  - 5

Subtract 2 from each side

1/4x+5/8x +2-2=  - 5-2

1/4x+5/8x =  - 7

Get a common denominator

1/4 *2/2 x + 5/8x = -7

2/8x + 5/8x = -7

7/8x = -7

Multiply each side by 8/7

8/7x * 7/8x = -7 *8/7

x = -8

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4x+2=-5/8x-5

find l.c.m=8

multiply through by l.c.m which is 8

x/4×8+2×8=-5x/8×8-5×8

2x+16=-5x-40

2x+5x=-40-16

7x=-56

divide both sides by 7

7x/7=-56/7

x=-8

What's 6 1/3 + 5 1/2 + 4 1/4=​
Art [367]

Answer:

16  1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCD of 6 1/3 + 5 1/2 + 4 1/4 is 12; 12 is evenly divisible by 3, 2 and 4.

We can rewrite this expression as:

6 + 5 + 4 + 1/3 + 1/2 + 1/4, or

    15        +4/12 + 6/12 + 3/12, or

    15         + 13/12, or

     16  1/12
