Leya [2.2K]3 years ago

Answer:

      x = 32

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    5/8*x+4-(3/8*x+12)=0

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

           3

Simplify   —

           8

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   5         3

 ((—•x)+4)-((—•x)+12)  = 0

   8         8

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  8  as the denominator :

         12     12 • 8

   12 =  ——  =  ——————

         1        8  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3x + 12 • 8     3x + 96

———————————  =  ———————

     8             8  

Equation at the end of step  2  :

   5               (3x + 96)

 ((— • x) +  4) -  —————————  = 0

   8                   8    

Step  3  :

           5

Simplify   —

           8

Equation at the end of step  3  :

   5               (3x + 96)

 ((— • x) +  4) -  —————————  = 0

   8                   8    

Step  4  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

4.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  8  as the denominator :

        4     4 • 8

   4 =  —  =  —————

        1       8  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

5x + 4 • 8     5x + 32

——————————  =  ———————

    8             8  

Equation at the end of step  4  :

 (5x + 32)    (3x + 96)

 ————————— -  —————————  = 0

     8            8    

Step  5  :

Step  6  :

Pulling out like terms :

6.1     Pull out like factors :

  3x + 96  =   3 • (x + 32)

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

6.2       Adding fractions which have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(5x+32) - (3 • (x+32))     2x - 64

——————————————————————  =  ———————

          8                   8  

Step  7  :

Pulling out like terms :

7.1     Pull out like factors :

  2x - 64  =   2 • (x - 32)

Equation at the end of step  7  :

 2 • (x - 32)

 ————————————  = 0

      8      

Step  8  :

When a fraction equals zero :

8.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 2•(x-32)

 ———————— • 8 = 0 • 8

    8    

Now, on the left hand side, the  8  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  2  •  (x-32)  = 0

Equations which are never true :

8.2      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

8.3      Solve  :    x-32 = 0

Add  32  to both sides of the equation :

                     x = 32

One solution was found :

                  x = 32

Find x, and then any unknown angles in the quadrilateral.<br> x= ?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

x=65

other angle= 165

Step-by-step explanation:

quadrilaterals always have a total of 360 degrees

because of this you can set up an equation and solve

360=90+40+x+(4x-95)

360=130+5x-95

360=35+5x

325=5x

65=x

plug this in to find missing angle

4(65)-95=165

Set up the equation to find the AREA of the SMALL rectangle with a length of (x) and width (x+7)
Igoryamba

<u>Answer:</u>

<h3>( x ) x ( x + 7 ) </h3>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To find the area of a rectangle, we have to multiply the length with the width.

In the question, the given length is 'x' and the width given is 'x +7'

So, the area would be

( x ) x ( x + 7 )

The area = x^{2} + 7x

So, the equation to find the area of such a rectangle would be:-

( x ) x ( x + 7 )

Write a quadratic equation ax²+ bx + C = 0, whose coefficients are a =-9, b = 0, c = -2
aksik [14]
<h3>ax² + bx + c = 0</h3>

<em>Let's write -9 where we see A</em><em>:</em>

<h3>-9x² + bx + c = 0</h3>

<em>Let's</em><em> </em><em>write</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>where</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>see</em><em> </em><em>B</em><em>:</em>

<h3>-9x² + 0.x + c = 0</h3>

<em>(</em><em>Since B = 0, when it is multiplied by x, it becomes 0 again</em><em>)</em>

<h3>-9x² + c = 0</h3>

<em>Let's</em><em> </em><em>write</em><em> </em><em>-2</em><em> </em><em>where</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>see</em><em> </em><em>C</em><em>:</em>

<h3>-9x² + -2 = 0</h3>

<em>Now we can move on to solving our equation</em><em>:</em><em>)</em>

<em>Let's put the known and the unknown on different sides:</em>

<em>(</em><em>-2 goes to the opposite side positively</em><em>)</em>

<h3>-9x² = 2</h3>

<em>(</em><em>i</em><em>t goes as a division because it is in the case of multiplying -9 across</em><em>)</em>

<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em>

<h3>x² = 2/-9</h3>

<em>I could not find the rest of it, but I did not want to delete it for trying very hard. Sorry. It felt like we should take the square root, but I couldn't find it, maybe this can help you a little bit.</em>

<em>Please do not report</em><em>:</em><em>(</em>

<em>I hope I got it right, I'm trying to improve my English a little :)</em>
