Is this the whole question?
7+3t -t
------- = ----- is the relevant equation here. We don't ask, "What is 7+3t over
4 8 -t over 8," but rather "Solve the following equation for t."
Cross multiplying, 56 + 24t = -4t
-56
Then: 28t = 56, and t = ------ = -2 (answer)
28
The solution to "<span>What is 7+3t over 4 = -t over 8" is t = -2.</span>
Answer:
x²+1/x² = 51
Explanation:
Given x - 1/x = 7 ---(1)
We know the algebraic identity:
a²+b²-2ab = (a-b)²
Or
a²+b² = (a-b)²+2ab
Now,
x²+1/x²
= (x-1/x)²+2*x*(1/x)
= (x-1/x)²+2
:7²+2 [ from (1)] =
= 49+2
= 51
Therefore,
x²+1/x² = 51
He has 11 quarters and 17 dimes.
11 x .25 = 2.75 17 x .1 = 1.7 2.75 + 1.7 = 4.45
Hope this helps
