Answer:

The answer is -4 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's reduce to its simplest form:

-3/5 + (-8/2) =

Step 1: Lowest Common Denominator (10):

- 6/10 + (-40/10) =

Step 2: Solve the parentheses:

- 6/10 - 40/10 =

Step 3: Subtract the fractions:

-46/10

Step 4: Simplify (Dividing by 2):

-23/5

Step 5: Converting the fraction to mixed number:

-4 3/5

The answer is -4 3/5

In a fitness program, Pedro does 20 sit-ups on the first day, and increases this by 2 sit-ups everyday. Determine the day when t

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

day 540

Step-by-step explanation:

He increases his number of situps by 2 each day meaning on day 1 he'd do 2 extra, on day 2 he'd do 4 extra, on day he'd do 6 extra etc. We can show this by saying +2x where x is the day he is on. Then since he started with 20 we have to add 20 so it would be 20+2x. We want to know what day it is when he does 1100 situps so we can set our equation equal to 1100 and solve for X which is the day it would be.

20+2x=1100

2x=1080

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!

How do you solve this

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

domain: all terms are defined for all real numbers
solution: x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation as a single exponential. After taking the log, the solution becomes obvious.

$5^{x-2}-7^{x-3}=7^{x-5}+11\cdot 5^{x-4}\\\\5^{x-2}-11\cdot 5^{x-4}=7^{x-3}+7^{x-5}\\\\5^{x-2}(1-11\cdot 5^{-2})=7^{x-3}(1+7^{-2})\\\\5^{x-2}\dfrac{14}{25}=7^{x-3}\dfrac{50}{49}\\\\1=\dfrac{2\cdot 7^{x-3}5^4}{2\cdot 5^{x-2}7^3}=\left(\dfrac{7}{5}\right)^{x-6}\\\\0=(x-6)\log(1.4)\\\\x=6$
