Answer:

8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of a number is 1/that number.

So, the reciprocal of -5/8 is 1/\frac{-5}{8}= 1 times 8/-5

8/-5 is the reciprocal of -5/8.

However, we are looking for the negative reciprocal.

So, multiply the number by negative 1.

\frac{8}{-5} (\frac{-1}{1}) = \frac{-8}{-5} = \frac{8}{5}

Answer:

A=35, B=55, and C=25

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle A and the angle next to it are linear pairs, so you can subtract 145 from 180.

if you already know Angle A, and that the other angle is 90 degress, you can add 90+35 and subtract it from 180 to get Angle B

Angle C is paired with the angle across from it (I forgot what the term is called) so it is 25 degrees.

What is the value of y:35x+120y=500
Vladimir79 [104]
To get y you can move the x's to one side, so 120y=500-35x
then you can isolate the y, y= 500/120-35x/120

What does x and y equal
GaryK [48]

Answer:

x=5, y=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

we can find the answer by plugging in x=3y+14 to the second equation

5(3y+14)-2y=31

simplify

15y+70-2y=31

13y=-39

y=-3

now, plug in this to the initial equation x=3y+14

x=3(-3)+14

x=-9+14

x=5
