Solve for x: 4 over 5 x + 4 over 3 = 2x x = __________________ Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. Use the "/" sym

alexgriva [62]

Let's see.

4x/5 + 4/3 = 2x

First we have to make each denominator the same, so I'll multiply 4x/5 by 3/3, 4/3 by 5/5, and 2x by 15/15

Now we have 12x/15 + 20/15 = 30x/15

With everything in the same denominator we can solve the new equation of
12x + 20 = 30x

20 = 18x

10 = 9x

X= 10/9

HELP ASAP

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

1. A. 4 terms

There are 4 different values in the expression, so therefore there are 4 terms.

2. D. 3x^2 + 6x + 10

To get the answer...

start with the original expression: 3x^2 + x + 10 + 5x

add the like terms together, in this case you'd add x + 5x

you'll get: 3x^2 + 6x + 10

I hope I could help :)

If M is the midpoint of XY, find the coordinates of X if M(-3,-1) and Y(-8,6)

vova2212 [387]

$\bf \textit{middle point of 2 points }\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
X&({{ a}}\quad ,&{{ b}})\quad 
% (c,d)
Y&({{ -8}}\quad ,&{{ 6}})
\end{array}\qquad
% coordinates of midpoint 
\left(\cfrac{{{ x_2}} + {{ x_1}}}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{{{ y_2}} + {{ y_1}}}{2} \right)$

$\bf \left( \cfrac{-8+a}{2}~,~\cfrac{6+b}{2} \right)=\stackrel{M}{(-3,-1)}\implies 
\begin{cases}
\cfrac{-8+a}{2}=-3\\\\
-8+a=-6\\
\boxed{a=2}\\
----------\\
\cfrac{6+b}{2}=-1\\\\
6+b=-2\\
\boxed{b=-8}
\end{cases}$
