7/8(x-1/2)= -49/80
Multiply the bracket by 7/8
7/8x-7/16= -49/80
Move -7/16 to other side. Sign changes from -7/16 to +7/16
7/8x-7/16+7/16= -49/80+7/16
7/8x= -49/80+7/16
Find common denominator for 7/16 which is 5. Multiply 5 for the numerator and denominator.
7(5) / 16 (5)
= 35/80
7/8x= -49/80+35/80
7/8x= -14/80
Reduce -14/80 , divide by 2
(-14) /2=7 , 80/2= 40
-14/80= -7/40
7/8x= -7/40
Multiply by 8/7
7/8x*8/7= -7/40 * 8/7
Cross out 7 and 7 , and divide by 7. Cross out -7 and 7 and divide by 7. Cross out 40 and 8 divide by 8.
x= -1/5
Answer: x= -1/5 - G.
-15 - X = -6; X = (-9); -15 + (-9) = -6
60%= 6/10= 3/5
10%= 1/10
1/10*3/5=3/50
The probability that it will snow and Amy will be late for school is 6%
The answer to your question is,
Each time they assume the sum is rational; however, upon rearranging the terms of their equation, they get a contradiction (that an irrational number is equal to a rational number). Since the assumption that the sum of a rational and irrational number is rational leads to a contradiction, the sum must be irrational.
