Solve for u. u+1/4=-4/5

Mathematics
1 answer:
DedPeter [7]3 years ago

Answer:

u = (-21)/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for u:

u + 1/4 = (-4)/5

Put each term in u + 1/4 over the common denominator 4: u + 1/4 = (4 u)/4 + 1/4:

(4 u)/4 + 1/4 = -4/5

(4 u)/4 + 1/4 = (4 u + 1)/4:

1/4 (4 u + 1) = -4/5

Multiply both sides of (4 u + 1)/4 = (-4)/5 by 4:

(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = (-4)/5×4

4×(-4)/5 = (4 (-4))/5:

(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = (-4×4)/5

(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = 4/4×(4 u + 1) = 4 u + 1:

4 u + 1 = (-4×4)/5

4 (-4) = -16:

4 u + 1 = (-16)/5

Subtract 1 from both sides:

4 u + (1 - 1) = (-16)/5 - 1

1 - 1 = 0:

4 u = (-16)/5 - 1

Put (-16)/5 - 1 over the common denominator 5. (-16)/5 - 1 = (-16)/5 - 5/5:

4 u = (-16)/5 - 5/5

-16/5 - 5/5 = (-16 - 5)/5:

4 u = (-16 - 5)/5

-16 - 5 = -21:

4 u = (-21)/5

Divide both sides by 4:

u = ((-21)/4)/5

5×4 = 20:

Answer:  u = (-21)/20

So the way you would find it is a ratio. 

1. \frac{6}{2.5}     \frac{x}{17}
2. =(6)(17)/(2.5)
3. =102/2.5
4. =40.8

So the building would be 40.8 feet tall.

Can someone tell me if I did this right? If it's wrong can you tell me how to do it step by step? Thanks

Hi there!

So first off, here are little definitions you need to know in order to be able to answer your question :

<u>Constant</u> means that the rates of change are the same.

<u>Variable</u> means that the rates of change are different.


But from what I can see, you don't even need those definitions because you got both answers right!


Continue your great work! If there's anything just let me know! :)
