Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x= 1 over 4y-2
Hello,
"T<span>he product of 8 and a number increased by 4" may be understood by 2 ways:
1) it is the number which is increased
2) it is the product which is increased.
1) 8*(y+4) =8y+32
2) (8y)+4=8y+4
Seeing answers
:answer A: 8y+4

I think its C sorry if its wrong!
Answer: x = 1.28 or -1.28
The second step is wrong. What should've been done is to find greatest common factor (gcf) of 1/6 and -2. This is because you cannont add together a number with a variable to a number without a variable. So get the variable by itself by subtracting 1/6 from both sides.
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
Turn -2 into a fraction and find the gcf of -2 and 6:
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
1/5x = -2/1 — 1/6 ——> 1/5x = -12/6 — 1/6
1/5x = -13/6
Then divide each side by 1/5 to get the variable by itself; remeber: when dividing a fraction by a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal.
5/1 • 1/5x = -13/6 • 5/1
x = 65/6
Then, simplify
65/6} 10.83 or 10 83/100
