Answer:

1. 95/96

2. 27/7

3. -8/245

Explanation:

1. First add together the two fractions 3/4 + 5/6. Find the least common denominator. In this case we can use 12. The 3/4 changes to 9/12 and the 5/6 changes to 10/12. adding these together we get 19/12. Next we divide 8/5 by 19/12. We use the keep, change, flip method to change the divide to multiply. keep the first fraction, change divide into multiply, and then take the reciprocal of the second fraction. You will now do 5/8 x 19/12. We now get 95/96 (I made a mistake in the answers the first time because I was rushing)

2. Divide the 3/2 and the 8/9 first. I will use the KCF (keep, change, flip) method to divide. 3/2 x 9/8 = 27/16 Now we divide the 7/16. After using KCF we can simplify and cross cancel (simplfy after changing the fraction and signs) 27/16 x 16/7 --> 27/1 x 1/7 The answer will come out to be 27/7

3. since there are no parentheses divide first. Use KCF and after you get the answer multiply (it is the same using negative numbers just watch out for signs)

What is 5x^2-7x-3=8 by solving using a graph???

Hello!

Simplifying
5x2 + -7x + -3 = 8

Reorder the terms:
-3 + -7x + 5x2 = 8

Solving
-3 + -7x + 5x2 = 8

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-3 + -8 + -7x + 5x2 = 8 + -8

Combine like terms: -3 + -8 = -11
-11 + -7x + 5x2 = 8 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
-11 + -7x + 5x2 = 0

Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by
5 the coefficient of the squared term:

Divide each side by '5'.
-2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.2' to each side of the equation.
-2.2 + -1.4x + 2.2 + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Reorder the terms:
-2.2 + 2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Combine like terms: -2.2 + 2.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.2 = 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 2.2

The x term is -1.4x. Take half its coefficient (-0.7).
Square it (0.49) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.49' to each side of the equation.
-1.4x + 0.49 + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49

Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49

Combine like terms: 2.2 + 0.49 = 2.69
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.69

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.7)(x + -0.7) = 2.69

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.640121947

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(x + -0.7) equal to 1.640121947 and -1.640121947.

Subproblem 1
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947

Simplifying
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947

Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947

Solving
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
x = 1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: 1.640121947 + 0.7 = 2.340121947
x = 2.340121947

Simplifying
x = 2.340121947

Subproblem 2
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947

Simplifying
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947

Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947

Solving
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
x = -1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: -1.640121947 + 0.7 = -0.940121947
x = -0.940121947

Simplifying
x = -0.940121947

Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
x = {2.340121947, -0.940121947}
