Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the original equation would be 8 x 3 x .5 divided by 2 x .5 x 4

making the numerator 12 and denominator 4. Simplifying that would be 3

Use properties to rewrite the given equation. Which equations have the same solution as 3/5x +2/3 + x = 1/2– 1/5x? Check all tha

vodomira [7]

we have

$\frac{3}{5}x+ \frac{2}{3}+x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x$

Combine like terms in both sides

$(\frac{3}{5}x+ x)+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x$

we know that

$(\frac{3}{5}x+ x)=(\frac{3}{5}x+ \frac{5}{5}x)=\frac{8}{5}x$

substitute in the expression above

$\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x$ -----> equation A

Multiply equation A by $5*3*2=30$ both sides

$30*(\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{2}{3})=30*(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x)$

$48x+20=15-6x$ ---------> equation B

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$48x+6x=15-20$

$54x=-5$ ---------> equation C

Solve for x

$x=-\frac{5}{54} =-0.09$

We are going to proceed to verify each case to determine the solution.

Case a) $\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x$

the case a) is equal to the equation A

the case a) have the same solution that the given equation

Case b) $18x+20+30x=15-6x$

Combine like terms in left side

$(18x+30x)+20=15-6x$

$(48x)+20=15-6x$

the case b) is equal to the equation B

the case b) have the same solution that the given equation

Case c) $18x+20+x=15-6x$

Combine like terms in left side

$(18x+x)+20=15-6x$

$(19x)+20=15-6x$

$19x+6x=15-20\\25x=-5\\x=-0.20$

$-0.20\neq -0.09$

therefore

the case c) not have the same solution that the given equation

Case d) $24x+30x=-5$

Combine like terms in left side

$54x=-5$

the case d) is equal to the equation C

the case d) have the same solution that the given equation

Case e) $12x+30x=-5$

Combine like terms in left side

$42x=-5$

$x=-5/42=-0.12$

$-0.12\neq -0.09$

therefore

the case e) not have the same solution that the given equation

therefore

the answer is

case a) $\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x$

case b) $18x+20+30x=15-6x$

case d) $24x+30x=-5$

Igoryamba

Answer:

$\sqrt{-64}+2=2+8i$

Step-by-step explanation:

$i=\sqrt{-1}\\\\\sqrt{-64}=\sqrt{(64)(-1)}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\ for\ a\geq0\ and\ b\geq0\\\\=\sqrt{64}\cdot\sqrt{-1}=8\cdot i=8i\\\\\text{Therefore:}\\\\\sqrt{-64}+2=8i+2=2+8i$
