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

Find the median of the following data set 6,2,59,12,11,9,9,54,54,46,2,32,43,11
Aleonysh [2.5K]

By arranging the numbers in ascending order we get,

2, 2, 6, 9, 9, 11, 11, 12, 32, 43, 46, 54, 54, 59

The 2 middle numbers are:

11, 12

To find the median we have to add them and divide them by 2

So, (11+12)÷2

23÷2

Which of the following represents the y-intercept of the equation y = 2x - 5 A. 2 B. -5 C. 0 D. 5
lora16 [44]

Hello :)

the y intercept can be found when you use the slope intercept formula

<h2>y = mx +b</h2>

m: slope

b: y-intercept

In the equation given here:

<h2>y = 2x - 5 </h2>

m: 2

b: -5

So, therefore the answer is B. -5
