Answer:

9/20

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have to make 1 1/4 an improper fraction so since the denominator is 4 you add 4 to the numerator which is 1 so your fraction would be 5/4.

Second you make the denominators the same so you have to multiply them together. but since your multiplying the denominators you have to multiply the numerator as well. so for 5/4 you would multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 so your fraction will now be 50/40. now you multiply 8/10 by 4 so your new fraction is now 32/40

Third you subtract. you only have to subtract the numerators so 50-32 is 18 so your answer is 18/40

Last you need to simplify the highest number you can divide both of them by is 2 so now you divide 18 by 2 which makes 9 then you divide 40 by 2 which is 20 so your answer is 9/20

Sorry i'm not the best at explaining things but i tried my best

Hope this helps you out and have a great day : )

In the right triangle shown, the third side can be represented by the expression

Westkost [7]

The third side can be represented by D) $x = \sqrt{z^{2} } -y^{2} .$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse will be equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

In the given triangle, the hypotenuse is the side that is represented by z. Another side on the triangle is represented by the value y.

Step 2:

Assume the other side of the triangle measures x units.

So according to the Pythagorean theorem,

$z^{2} = x^{2} +y^{2} , x^{2} = z^{2} - y^{2} .$

$x = \sqrt{z^{2} } -y^{2}$ which is option D.

Solve the following for the specified variable Z=s/2(P+p); for P

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf P = \frac{2Z}{s} - p}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf Solve \ for \ P: \\ \sf \implies Z = \frac{s}{2} (P + p) \\ \\ \sf Z = \frac{s}{2} (P + p) \ is \ equivalent \ to \ \frac{s}{2} (P + p) = Z: \\ \sf \implies \frac{s}{2} (P + p) = Z \\ \\ \sf Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ \frac{s}{2} : \\ \sf \implies P + p = \frac{2Z}{s} \\ \\ \sf Substrate \ p \ from \ both \ sides: \\ \sf \implies P = \frac{2Z}{s} - p$

4/5(2x+5)−4=1 x = 1 1/4 x = 1 2/5 x = 5/8 x = 3 1/5

tia_tia [17]

The answer is x=5/8. The reason for this is when you divide it equal 0.625 then when you multiply that by 2 it equals 1.25. After you do that you add 5 which is 6.25. Now we divide 4/5 which is 0.8. Now, we multiply 6.25x0.8=5. 5-4=1. Therefore your answer is 5/8. Hope this helps :)
