-8x/5+1/6=-5x/3 I don't get how to find the answer?

Mathematics

NeX [460]2 years ago

In order to find this answer we have to manipulate the equation algebraically so that we end up with a statement that x = something. We can manipulate the problem however we need to as long as we do the same thing to both sides of the equation (this keeps the equation true).

-8x/5 + 1/6 = -5x/3

first lets get the x's on one side of the equals sign by adding 8x/5 to each side.

1/6 = -5x/3 + 8x/5

Ok, now let's add the x's together (we need common denominators)

1/6 = -25x/15 + 24x/15
1/6 = -x/15

Now lets get x by itself by multiplying each side by 15

1/6 * 15 = -x
15/6 = -x
3/2 = -x

Multiply each side by -1 to make the x positive.

-3/2 = x

If ABC is reflected across the y-axis, what are the coordinates of A?
quester [9]

Answer:

The answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection in the y axis is

(x , y) → ( - x , y)

The coordinates of A are ( 2, -5)

When it's reflected in the y axis it becomes

( - 2 , - 5)

Hope this helps you

What is the vertex form, f(x) = a(x − h)2 + k, for a parabola that passes through the point (1, −7) and has (2, 3) as its vertex
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Vertex form: f(x) = -10(x − 2)^2 + 3

Standard form: y = -10x^2 + 40x - 37

Step-by-step explanation:

h and k are the vertex coordinates

Substitute them in the vertex form equation:

f(x) = a(x − 2)^2 + 3

Calculate "a" by replacing "f(x)" with -7 and "x" with 1:

-7 = a(1 − 2)^2 + 3

Simplify:

-7 = a(1 − 2)^2 + 3

-7 = a(-1)^2 + 3

-7 = a + 3

-10 = a

Replace a to get the final vertex form equation:

f(x) = -10(x − 2)^2 + 3

Convert to standard form:

y = -10(x − 2)^2 + 3

Expand using binomial theorem:

y = -10(x^2 − 4x + 4) + 3

Simplify:

y = -10x^2 + 40x - 40 + 3

y = -10x^2 + 40x - 37

Factor the trinomial<br><br> x^2-9x+4x
8090 [49]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

x2 + -9x = 4x + -4

Reorder the terms:

-9x + x2 = 4x + -4

Reorder the terms:

-9x + x2 = -4 + 4x

Solving

-9x + x2 = -4 + 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:

4 + -9x + -4x + x2 = -4 + 4x + 4 + -4x

Combine like terms: -9x + -4x = -13x

4 + -13x + x2 = -4 + 4x + 4 + -4x

Reorder the terms:

4 + -13x + x2 = -4 + 4 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

4 + -13x + x2 = 0 + 4x + -4x

4 + -13x + x2 = 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

4 + -13x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -13x + -4 + x2 = 0 + -4

Reorder the terms:

4 + -4 + -13x + x2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + -13x + x2 = 0 + -4

-13x + x2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4

-13x + x2 = -4

The x term is -13x.  Take half its coefficient (-6.5).

Square it (42.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '42.25' to each side of the equation.

-13x + 42.25 + x2 = -4 + 42.25

Reorder the terms:

42.25 + -13x + x2 = -4 + 42.25

Combine like terms: -4 + 42.25 = 38.25

42.25 + -13x + x2 = 38.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:

(x + -6.5)(x + -6.5) = 38.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 6.184658438

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting  

(x + -6.5) equal to 6.184658438 and -6.184658438.

Each carton 12 eggs. There are 2 full cartons in the refrigerator. Margot uses 3 eggs to make a quiche. How many eggs are left.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Answer: There are 21 eggs left.

Step-by-step explanation:

One carton has 12 eggs.

2 cartons are two times one carton, so two cartons have 2 times 12 eggs.

2 * 12 = 24

There are 24 eggs in two cartons.

Margot uses 3 eggs. We subtract 3 eggs from 24 eggs.

24 - 3 = 21

Answer: There are 21 eggs left.

∠ABD and ∠BDE are supplementary. Find the measures of both angles.
Gnom [1K]

Supplementary means that the angles have to add up to 180, so you have your equation.

180=5x+17x-18

198=22x

x=9

Then to find the measures of the angles, you plug x back in.

m∠ABD=5(9)=45 degrees

m∠BDE=17(9)-18=153-18=135 degrees
