Answer:

The solution to the equation \frac{1}{4}x+2=\frac{-5}{8}x-5 is \mathbf{x=-8}

Option A is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the solution to the equation \frac{1}{4}x+2=\frac{-5}{8}x-5

Solving the equation

\frac{1}{4}x+2=\frac{-5}{8}x-5

Subtracting 2 on both sides

\frac{1}{4}x+2-2=\frac{-5}{8}x-5-2\\\frac{1}{4}x=\frac{-5}{8}x-7

Adding 5/8x  on both sides

\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{5}{8}x=\frac{-5}{8}x-7+\frac{5}{8}x\\\frac{2x+5x}{8}=-7 \\\frac{7x}{8}=-7

Multiply both sides by 8/7

\frac{7x}{8}\times \frac{8}{7}=-7  \times \frac{8}{7}\\x=-8

So, we get x = -8

The solution to the equation \frac{1}{4}x+2=\frac{-5}{8}x-5 is \mathbf{x=-8}

Option A is correct option.

The Seventh Inning Stretch Company has created a new baseball that will improve your chances of hitting a home run. The 36-inch
Anna [14]

Answer:

Width of the box = 18.97 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the bat = 36 inches.

That means length of the diagonal of the bat (BC) = 36 inches

By applying Pythagoras theorem in right triangle BDC,

BC² = BD² + CD²

BC² = (30)² + w² -------(1)

BY applying Pythagoras theorem in right triangle ABC,

AC² = AB² + BC²

(36)² = 6² + BC²

By substituting the value of BC from equation (1),

(36)² = 6² + (30)² + w²

1296 = 36 + 900 + w²

w² = 1296 - 936

w = √360

w = 18.97 inches

Answer: It is tripled.

Since x and y are proportional, whatever happens to x must happen to y in order for the two values to stay proportional.
