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

Para armar un escritorio, Eduardo tendrá que usar 20 tarugos, los que debe cubrir completamente con una capa de pegamento. Él ca
Degger [83]

El área superficial total de los veinte tarugos es mayor que el área superficial cubierta por el pegamento.

<h3>Como determinar si la superficie cubierta por el pegamento es suficiente</h3>

En esta pregunta debemos calcular el área superficial total de los tarugos (A_{s}), en milímetros cuadrados, y comparar el resultado con la cifra afirmada por Eduardo. El área superficial total es:

A_{s} = 20\cdot \pi\cdot (5\,mm)^{2}\cdot (80\,mm)

A_{s} \approx 125663.706\,mm^{2 }

En consecuencia, el área superficial total de los veinte tarugos es mayor que el área superficial cubierta por el pegamento. Francisca tiene la razón. \blacksquare

<h3>Observación</h3>

El enunciado omite las dimensiones <em>geométricas</em> de cada tarugo (5 milímetros de radio y 80 milímetros de longitud).
