Answer:

  • garden: 8 years
  • tree: 120 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g represent the age of the garden. Then the age of the tree is 15g. The sum of their ages is ...

  g +15g = 128

  16g = 128 . . . . . collect terms

  g = 128/16 = 8 . . . . divide by the coefficient of g

The garden is 8 years old; the tree is 120 years old.

3/7x + 4 = -1/2<br><br>explain pls
Temka [501]
3/7x + 4 = -1/2
subtract 4 from both sides
3/7x= -1/2 - 4
3/7x= -4 1/2
divide both sides by 3/7
x= -4 1/2 ÷ 3/7
convert -4 1/2 to improper fraction
x= (-4*1+1)/2 ÷ 3/7
x= -9/2 ÷ 3/7
multiply by reciprocal of 3/7
x= -9/2 * 7/3
multiply numerators & denominators
x= (-9*7)/(2*3)
x= -63/6
x= -10 3/6
simplify 3/6 by 3
x= -10 1/2

CHECK:
3/7x + 4 = -1/2
3/7(-63/6) + 4= -1/2
(3*-63)/(7*6) + 4= -1/2
-189/42 + 4= -1/2
-4 1/2 + 4= -1/2
-1/2= -1/2

ANSWER: x= -63/6 or -10 1/2

Hope this helps! :)
