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

Which ordered pair can be plotted together with these four points, so that the resulting graph still represents a function?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

B.(-1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a function, there can not be two different values of y corresponding to the same value of x.

See the graph attached.

Here, the points on the graph are (1,2), (2,-3), (-2,-2) and (-3,1).

If we consider point (-2,2) then there will be two points corresponding to the same x value i.e. (-2,-2) and (-2,2).

Similarly, if we consider the point (2,-2) or (2.-1) then also there becomes more than one values of y for a single value of x i.e. x = 2.

So, if we consider the ordered pair (-1,2) then only the graph still represents a function. (Answer)

Which is the correct statement ?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A is correct  < C and < C" are congruent after both the translation and the dilation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the triangle remains the same after the translation and the dilation. After the dilation the new triangle is bigger by a factor 2 but the shape ( and therefore the angles are equal. The 2 triangles are similar,
