-5/4 = x -7/10 solve for x and show work please

1 answer:

6 0

First lets start by making the denominators the same. I multiplied the 4 by 5 and 10 by 2.

-25/20 = x -14/20
Add 14/20 on both sides (do the opposite to cancel out and whatever you do to one side you need to do to the other.
You should get -11/20 = x

Perform the indicated operations. Write the answer in standard form, a+bi.<br> 5-3i / -2-9i

Vsevolod [243]

$\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer} \downarrow}$

$\large \bf\frac { 5 - 3 i } { - 2 - 9 i } \\$

Multiply both numerator and denominator of $\sf \frac{5-3i}{-2-9i} \\$ by the complex conjugate of the denominator, -2+9i.

$\large \bf \: Re(\frac{\left(5-3i\right)\left(-2+9i\right)}{\left(-2-9i\right)\left(-2+9i\right)}) \\$

Multiplication can be transformed into difference of squares using the rule: $\sf\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)=a^{2}-b^{2}$ .

$\large \bf \: Re(\frac{\left(5-3i\right)\left(-2+9i\right)}{\left(-2\right)^{2}-9^{2}i^{2}}) \\$

By definition, i² is -1. Calculate the denominator.

$\large \bf \: Re(\frac{\left(5-3i\right)\left(-2+9i\right)}{85}) \\$

Multiply complex numbers 5-3i and -2+9i in the same way as you multiply binomials.

$\large \bf \: Re(\frac{5\left(-2\right)+5\times \left(9i\right)-3i\left(-2\right)-3\times 9i^{2}}{85}) \\$

Do the multiplications in $\sf5\left(-2\right)+5\times \left(9i\right)-3i\left(-2\right)-3\times 9\left(-1\right)$ .

$\large \bf \: Re(\frac{-10+45i+6i+27}{85}) \\$

Combine the real and imaginary parts in -10+45i+6i+27.

$\large \bf \: Re(\frac{-10+27+\left(45+6\right)i}{85}) \\$

Do the additions in $\sf-10+27+\left(45+6\right)i$ .

$\large \bf Re(\frac{17+51i}{85}) \\$

Divide 17+51i by 85 to get $\sf\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{5}i \\$ .

$\large \bf \: Re(\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{5}i) \\$

The real part of $\sf \frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{5}i \\$ is $\sf \frac{1}{5} \\$ .

$\large \boxed{\bf\frac{1}{5} = 0.2} \\$

Which is more 2/3 or 2/4

goblinko [34]

The answer would be 2/3 is greater than 2/4. Two- thirds is equivalent to 0.67 while 2/4 is equivalent to 1/2 or 0.5. Of course, 0.67 is greater than 0.5.
