Rewrite the equation so that it does not have fractions 2- 5/6x = 7/8

Mathematics
1 answer:
sashaice [31]3 years ago
8 0

the common denominator of 5/6 and 7/8 is 24, so multiply both sides of the equation (every term) by 24:

24(5/6)x + 24(2) = 24(7/8)

the denominators will cancel out so you have:

4(5x) + 48 = 3(7)

do the multiplication:

20x + 48 = 21

fractions have been eliminated, and if you want to continue to solve:

20x = -27

x = -27/20

When x pounds of force is applied to one end of a lever that is L feet long, the resulting force y on the other end is
nadezda [96]
The question is worded poorly, but it looks like you have a lever in equilibrium, with a force x at a distance d from the fulcrum, and a force y at a distance L - d from the fulcrum. You already have the equilibrium formula for this situation:

xd = y(L - d)

If you know x, y, and d, you can solve for the length L.

Answer:1/3 divided by 6 equals 18

Step-by-step explanation: If you have a cloth that is 1/3 long then divide it by 6 it would look like 1/3 divided by 1/6 which would then equal 1/18.

If a = -35, b = 10 cm and c = -5, verify that:
Murljashka [212]

Step-by-step explanation:

(i). a+(b+c) = (a+b)+c

-35+(10-5) = (-35+10)+(-5)

-35+5 = -25-5

-30 = -30

(ii). a×(b+c) = a×b + a×c

-35 × [10+(-5)] = -35×10 + -35×-5

-35 × (10-5) = -350 + 175

-35 × 5 = -350 + 175

-175 = -175

Helppppp plsss solve for x
pogonyaev
The two triangles we can see in the diagram are similar, which means that their measurements are proportional. Line MN on the larger triangle MNP is 71.5ft long, and its corresponding line, MA, on the smaller triangle is 71.5-22= 49.5ft long. This means that the scale factor from the bigger to the smaller triangle is 71.5/49.5=13/9.
If line MP on the bigger rectangle is 97.5ft long, then its corresponding line, MB, must be 97.5÷13/9=67.5 ft long.
Therefore, x=67.5 ft
