The variable Z is directly proportional to X. When X is 5, Z has the value 55.

LuckyWell [14K]

Z = k * x
55 = k * 5
divide both sides by 5
11 = x

z = 11x

z = 11 * 12
z = 132

What is 1/8-10(3/4-3/8x)+5/8x

cluponka [151]

Answer:

x = 59/35

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

1/8 - 10(3/4 - 3/8x) + 5/8x

1/8 - 30/4 + 30/8x + 5/8x

Step 2: Combine like terms

1/8 - 30*2/4*2 - 30/8x + 5/8x

1/8 - 60/8 + 35/8x

-59/8 + 35/8x

Step 3: Solve for x

-59/8 + 35/8x + 59/8 = 0 + 59/8

35/8x * 8/35 = 59/8 * 8/35

x = 59/35

Answer: x = 59/35
