<h2>1/4 or 0.25</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

2 \frac{1}{2} y =  \frac{5}{8}

Convert Mixed number to improper fraction.

2 \frac{1}{2}  =  \frac{5}{2}

Equate

\frac{5}{2} y =  \frac{5}{8}

Cross Multiply

5y \times 8 = 2 \times 5 \\ 40y = 10

Divide both sides of the equation by 40

\frac{40y}{40}  =  \frac{10}{40}

Simplify

y =  \frac{1}{4}

Use an algebraic equation to find the measures of the two angles described below. begin by letting x represent the degree measur
Lina20 [59]
Two angles are said to be supplement when their measure add up to 180 degrees.

Assume that the angle we are looking for is a and its supplement is s (I used s instead of x).

a + s = 180
a = 180 - s ......> equation I

We know that <span>the measure of the angle is eight times greater than its supplement.
This means that:
a = 8s ......> equation II

Substitute by equation II in equation I to get s as follows:
180 - s = 8s
180 = 9s
s = 20 degrees

Substitute in equation I to get the measure of the angle as follows:
a = 180 - s = 180 - 20 = 160 degrees

Based on these calculations:
The measure of the angle is 160 degrees
The measure of its supplement is 20 degrees</span>

1/4 x + 1/6 x = x-7.
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides by adding like terms

5/12x=x-7

subtract x from both sides

-7/12x=-7

multiply both sides by 12/-7

x=12
