6 0

We need to cross multiply to solve it.

After we cross multiply we get

6x-1 = 3 x 5
6x-1 = 15
6x = 16
x = 16/6
x = 8/3

Hope that helps :D

How do u do this problem: W/6+5/8=-1 3/8 <br> I got this answer: -1 53/64

Kobotan [32]

We have question
$\frac{W}{6}+ \frac{5}{8} =-1 \frac{3}{8}$
$\frac{W}{6} + \frac{5}{8} =- \frac{11}{8}$ <span> /*8 (multiply both sides by 8)</span>
$\frac{W8}{6} + \frac{5}{1} =- \frac{11}{1}$ /*6 (multiply both sides by 6)
$8W+5*6=-11*6$ /-30 both sides
8W=-66-30
8W=-96
W=-12

What is the answer to 6(1+8n)=-39+3n

MissTica

For this case we must simplify the following expression:

$6 (1 + 8n) = - 39 + 3n$

We apply distributive property on the left side of the equation:

$6 * 1 + 6 * 8n = -39 + 3n\\6 + 48n = -39 + 3n$

We subtract 3n from both sides of the equation:

$6 + 48n-3n = -39\\6 + 45n = -39$

We subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:

$45n = -39-6\\45n = -45$

We divide between 45 on both sides of the equation:

$n = \frac {-45} {45}\\n = -1$

Answer:

$n = -1$
