Rearrange:

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

x-9/8-(21)=0

Step by step solution :

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

2.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole

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

x x • 8

x = — = —————

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:

x • 8 - (9) 8x - 9

——————————— = ——————

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

:

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1 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:

8x-177

—————— • 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 :

8x-177 = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

4.2 Solve : 8x-177 = 0

Add 177 to both sides of the equation :

8x = 177

Divide both sides of the equation by 8:

x = 177/8 = 22.125

Write five ordered pairs in a table to represent a relation that is not a function.
QveST [7]

Answer:

Therefore, the relation of the given ordered pairs does NOT represent a function as that x-coordinate values are repeated.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a relation is basically a set of input and output values, which are expressed in ordered pairs.

A relation may have any set of ordered pairs.

We also know that a function is a set of ordered pairs in which each x-element has only one y-element associated with it.

Consider the five ordered pairs

x                       y

-2                      1

3                       -4

-2                      -7

4                        6

5                         7

The relation is: {(–2, 1), (3, –4), (–2, –6), (4, 6), (5, 7)}

From the table, it is clear that x-coordinate values are repeated.

In other words, x = -2 twice.

Therefore, the relation of the given ordered pairs does NOT represent a function.

If the original pair of a pair of shoes is $80 but a sign above the shoes reads “ Sale - 20% discount”, then what price would a
solong [7]

Answer:

A. 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The shoes are 80 dollars.  We get a 20% discount

Discount = 80*20%

                = 80*.20

                  =16

The sales price = original price less the discount

                          = 80 -16

                           = 64
