Answer:

   x = 2/5 = 0.400

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

           1

Simplify   —

           4

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  5         1

 (— • x) -  —  = 0  

  8         4

Step  2  :

           5

Simplify   —

           8

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  5         1

 (— • x) -  —  = 0  

  8         4

Step  3  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

3.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

     The left denominator is :       8  

     The right denominator is :       4  

       Number of times each prime factor

       appears in the factorization of:

Prime  

Factor   Left  

Denominator   Right  

Denominator   L.C.M = Max  

{Left,Right}  

2 3 2 3

Product of all  

Prime Factors  8 4 8

     Least Common Multiple:

     8  

Calculating Multipliers :

3.2    Calculate multipliers for the two fractions

   Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M  

   Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M  

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M  

   Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno  

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno  

  Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 1

  Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 2

Making Equivalent Fractions :

3.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)2   and  (y2+y)/(y+1)3  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

  L. Mult. • L. Num.      5x

  ——————————————————  =   ——

        L.C.M             8  

  R. Mult. • R. Num.      2

  ——————————————————  =   —

        L.C.M             8

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.4       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

5x - (2)     5x - 2

————————  =  ——————

   8           8    

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 5x - 2

 ——————  = 0  

   8    

Step  4  :

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 5x-2

 ———— • 8 = 0 • 8

  8  

Now, on the left hand side, the  8  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  5x-2  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.2      Solve  :    5x-2 = 0  

Add  2  to both sides of the equation :  

                     5x = 2

Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

                    x = 2/5 = 0.400

One solution was found :

                  x = 2/5 = 0.400

Find the area of the shaded region. Round to the nearest tenth.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

3.5 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area \: of \: both \: squares  \\ =  {2}^{2}  +  {3}^{2}  \\  = 4 + 9 \\  = 13 \:  {cm}^{2}  \\  \\ Area \: of \: both \: right \:  \triangle s \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times (2 + 3) \times 2 + \frac{1}{2}  \times3 \times 3 \\  = 5 \times 1+ 1.5 \times 3 \\  = 5 + 4.5 \\  = 9.5 \:  {cm}^{2}  \\  \\ Area \: of \:shaded \: region \\  = Area \: of \: both \: squares\\ - Area \: of \: both \: right \:  \triangle s \\  = 13 - 9.5 \\   \purple { \boxed{ \bold{Area \: of \:shaded \: region = 3.5 \:  {cm}^{2} }}}

The sum of two numbers is 49 and the difference is 25 . What are the numbers?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

x = 37 y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be one number

Let y = other number

x+y = 49

x-y = 25

Add the equations together

x+y = 49

x-y = 25

---------------

2x = 74

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 74/2

x =37

x+y = 49

37+y = 49

Subtract 37 from each side

37+y-37 = 49-37

y = 12
